In an emotional and touching moment, Hayden Panettiere recently opened up about the devastating loss of her younger brother, Jansen Panettiere. The actor and artist tragically passed away earlier this year at the age of 28, leaving behind family, friends, and fans in shock.
Jansen, who was also in the entertainment industry, had a deep bond with his sister Hayden, and the two were known to be incredibly close. Hayden broke her silence in a heartfelt interview, sharing how she has been coping with the loss and paying tribute to her brother’s creative spirit and loving nature.
“He was my best friend,” Hayden said through tears. “Jansen had such a big heart and an incredible talent. He was always full of life, and his energy was infectious.”
Jansen, who acted in projects like The Last Day of Summer and The Walking Dead, had taken a step back from acting to focus on his passion for art in recent years. His vibrant paintings, which he often showcased on social media, reflected his free spirit and unique perspective on life.
The family released a statement earlier this year expressing their deep sorrow: “Jansen’s soul was filled with love and kindness. His creative spirit will forever live on in our hearts.”
Hayden also took to Instagram recently to post a series of photos in memory of her brother, showcasing moments from their childhood and their time together. The post was flooded with comments of support from fans and fellow celebrities who shared in her grief.
Friends close to the Panettiere family have revealed that Hayden has been leaning on her loved ones during this difficult time, finding strength in her close-knit support system. She’s also been actively seeking ways to honor Jansen’s legacy, including organizing a foundation to support young artists and creatives, which Jansen was passionate about.
While the pain of losing her brother is still raw, Hayden expressed hope in her recent interview. “Jansen wouldn’t want us to be sad forever. He would want us to celebrate life, to live it fully, and to keep creating. That’s how I want to honor him.”
The sudden loss of Jansen Panettiere has been felt deeply, but through his art and the memories of those who knew him best, his spirit lives on.
