Neutrogena has broken its silence about former ambassador Hayden Panettiere's death following days of backlash against the skincare brand over its treatment of the late actor.
Panettiere was found dead Sunday at age 36, prompting interviews and comments from the Nashville star to resurface, including her remarks earlier this year that Neutrogena "fired" her in 2015 after she spoke about her postpartum depression.
"We are deeply saddened by Hayden Panettiere's passing," Neutrogena said in a statement posted to its social media accounts Thursday. "For more than a decade, Hayden was a valued member of our Neutrogena community."
"We are proud to have partnered with her and understand that we made her feel unsupported during a very difficult time. This is not what Neutrogena stands for or who we want to be," the statement continued.
Neutrogena vowed to make a "significant investment to a long-standing community health partner" to support women's health causes and promised to share more details "when plans are in place."
