Hayden Panettiere's daughter, Kaya, made a rare court appearance amid the legal dispute over her mother's estate.
The 11-year-old attended the Los Angeles Superior Court hearing virtually on Oct. 8 alongside her father, Wladimir Klitschko, Panettiere's former fiancé, according to The **** ociated Press and People. Kaya reportedly briefly appeared on camera to confirm her identity to the judge.
She was "soft-spoken and composed," People reported. The proceedings centered on Klitschko's request for "immediate" guardianship of Panettiere's estate on behalf of Kaya, the sole beneficiary, alleging "non-family members" have been misappropriating the "Nashville" star's property.
The judge ultimately granted Klitschko temporary guardianship of the estate and set another court date for Dec. 7, noting Kaya would not need to be present.

Hayden Panettiere's 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, has made an appearance in court alongside her dad, Wladimir Klitschko.
Kaya appeared remotely to confirm her identity during a hearing about guardianship of the late actor's estate, People reported.
The outlet described Kaya as "soft-spoken and composed" as she spoke to the judge.
Klitschko was granted temporary guardianship of his ex-fiancée's estate during Thursday's hearing.
In addition, his lawyer requested law enforcement investigate the "recovery of property believed to be misappropriated" by a non-family member. Earlier in the week, Klitschko filed court docs to request a law enforcement investigation into his claims that Panettiere's belongings were ******* ed after her death.
He believes "a non-family member previously connected to" the Heroes star had ******* ed some of her possessions, including jewellery, according to documents obtained by TMZ.

Kaya Klitschko — the 11-year-old daughter of late actress Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko — made a rare appearance in court on Thursday, October 8.
According to People, Kaya appeared alongside her father, 50, during a hearing over her late mother's estate.
While Kaya did not appear on camera, the outlet reported that she wore a white T-shirt and was soft-spoken when addressing the judge.
The former heavyweight champion filed a temporary guardianship in September over his ex's estate, as she died without a will. As Kaya was Panettiere's only heir, Wladimir took swift action to protect their daughter.
Kaya is "not a resident of California; this Court has jurisdiction over the guardianship of Kaya's estate because, as such heir, Kaya is entitled to the entirety of the ***** ets subject to Hayden's probate administration in California," Wlad claimed in court documents obtained by TMZ.

Hayden Panettiere's 11-year-old daughter Kaya appeared by video at a court hearing in Los Angeles Thursday, Oct. 8, as her father, Wladimir Klitschko, won permission to enlist police in recovering missing property. This allegedly includes jewelry "misappropriated" from the late Nashville star's estate.
Kaya spoke first at the hearing, politely greeting the judge from a seat in front of a set of curtains. "Was that you, Kaya?" the judge asked. "Yes, that was me," she replied. Her dad said he was with her using the same account, so he only had an audio connection. They then turned off Kaya's camera as Klitschko's lawyer explained what they were requesting.

Hayden Panettiere's jewelry has already been **** ed off after her death, according to her former fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko.
Panettiere, known for starring in TV shows Nashville and Heroes, died August 16 of an accidental drug overdose. She was 36.
In a new court filing, Klitschko requested temporary guardianship of the actor's estate on behalf of their 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, and shared his concerns that Panettiere's belongings have been mishandled since she died in August.
Documents filed Monday read that Klitschko "believes that a non-family member previously connected to Hayden sold certain items belonging to Hayden, believed to include jewelry, to a **** shop," according to Entertainment Weekly
Klitschko, 50, said that the **** shop has refused to disclose specific information about the items without police contact — leading to his worries that remaining items could be "sold, transferred or otherwise rendered unrecoverable."

NEW YORK — The electronic voice sounded almost embarrassed, as it made the call that everyone on the tennis court could see was wrong.
Monday at the U.S. Open, No. 21 seed Anna Kalinskaya led Russian compatriot Anna Blinkova 6-4, 2-2, 40-15 on Court 5.
After a short rally, Kalinskaya sent a forehand crosscourt that bounced comfortably inside the singles sideline. As it rose off the blue acrylic, Kalinskaya turned for the end of the game — before an almost plaintive shout of "out" echoed across the court.
Kalinskaya looked like she had seen a ghost, and immediately requested a replay. The chair umpire made the announcement, but nothing came up. Eventually, the screen showed a ball bouncing several feet away from the nearest line, but it was a replay of a serve that had nothing to do with the point in question.
In a statement sent to The Athletic, a USTA spokesperson said: "At 40-15 in the fifth game of the second set, a malfunction with the ELC Live system caused a shot hit by Kalinskaya to be inaccurately called out.

Hayden Panettiere's on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson is terrified that her estranged mother, Lesley Vogel, will stop at nothing to finish him following the actress' death, a source tells In Touch.
As In Touch previously reported, Brian, 37, and his brother, Zach Hickerson, were both on the scene when paramedics responded to a 911 call involving the Nashville star, 35, in Greenville, South Carolina on Sunday, August 16. Despite attempts to revive her, Panettiere was ******* ounced dead, leaving behind an 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, with ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko.
"Brian swears up and down that he's been completely honest about what happened the day Hayden died, but make no mistake, he's terrified right now," reveals the source. "The DEA is investigating. It's very serious, and Hayden's mom is clearly on the warpath."
Vogel, 70, told the Daily Mail that she raised questions about Brian's account of Panettiere's final hours to law enforcement, including the idea that he simply found her unresponsive.
"I don't know how you can take a nap near someone who's dying and not realize something's wrong. How do you do that?" Vogel told the outlet. "When the EMTs came, it was for cardiac arrest. People in cardiac arrest aren't just lying still. They make noise."

More details about Hayden Panettiere's relationship with Brian Hickerson continue to emerge days after her death.
According to a new report from Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack published on Monday, August 24, Brian, 37, was pressuring the Scream 4 star to have a child with him.
"Brian wasn't casually talking about someday becoming a father — he was pushing Hayden to have a baby with him," a source told the outlet.
However, Panettiere — who shared daughter Kaya, 11, with her ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko — "understood exactly what another pregnancy could potentially mean for her emotionally," according to the source.
"She wasn't convinced it was something she wanted to risk," the source continued. "Hayden knew how badly things had gone after Kaya. She had lived through postpartum depression, addiction and the heartbreak of being separated from her daughter. Brian wanted a baby. Hayden understood the possible consequences. That was the tension between them."

Following Hayden Panettiere's shocking death, fans are resurfacing some of the career revelations she shared in her final months, including her allegation that Neutrogena attempted to end their longtime partnership after she spoke publicly about her postpartum depression.
Now, the brand is speaking out.
In her 2026 memoir "This Is Me: A Reckoning" and interviews promoting the book in May, the 36-year-old said the cosmetics brand, owned by Kenvue, wanted to "fire" her after she shed light on her condition on "Live with Kelly and Michael" in 2015, less than a year after she gave birth to her daughter, Kaya.
Panettiere's comments drew backlash in May from social media users – including one beauty content creator who declared "Neutrogena hates women!" – and criticism of the brand saw renewed fervor after the "Heroes" actress died at age 36 on Aug. 16. One Reddit post, which earned more than 2,500 upvotes, proposed a boycott against Neutrogena. Comments under another post mirrored this sentiment, with one user calling Panettiere's commercials a "core memory" for millennials.
The drama, explained: Will a Neutrogena boycott by Hayden Panettiere's fans work?

"Instead of celebrating the way we had planned, today we celebrate her life, her spirit, and the love she brought into this world," he wrote.
"I want to thank all of Hayden's fans, friends, and everyone who has reached out for the incredible outpouring of love and support. At a time filled with so much sadness, your kindness has reminded me that there is still so much good in humanity."
The retired boxer then encouraged his followers to be kind to others and lead with love instead of hate.
"If you're reading this, I ask just one thing: even if only for a moment, think about LOVE. Reach out to a friend. Forgive someone. Be kind," he continued. "Love is a superpower. Use it."

Hayden Panettiere, known to many of us as the cheerleader who couldn't be broken on Heroes and the country western star who came apart on Nashville, died this week in her South Carolina home at the age of 36. She left behind an eleven-year-old daughter called Kaya. Her cause of death is not yet known.
The public response to her death has followed a familiar refrain: the tragic trajectory of a child star whose bright light cast longer shadows. But Panettiere's story is also one of a young woman who fought hard to reclaim her narrative, and was willing to drag the darkest parts of it into the light, even when doing so made people uncomfortable.
Her 2026 memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, detailed a near-death labor and postpartum psychological spiral, an opioid and alcohol addiction that predated her daughter's birth by more than a decade, and the very difficult decision to give her daughter's father, former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, full custody of their daughter in 2018. It was a story that gave a voice to a subject and a stigma that so many women have been unable to face openly for fear of shame, judgment and retribution. And perhaps that makes her sudden death all the more tragic, and opens up an important question that deserves to be confronted: what, exactly, do we mean when we say "good mother"?

Neutrogena is facing a boycott and swarms of social media backlash over a story from Hayden Panettiere that has resurfaced after her sudden death at 36.
The Heroes star, who was the face of the popular skincare brand for about 10 years, said in her 2026 memoir This Is Me: A Reckoning that Neutrogena severed ties with her after she spoke publicly about receiving mental health treatment for postpartum depression following the birth of her daughter, Kaya, in 2014.
Panettiere alleged that her contract with the company was canceled because she revealed her PPD diagnosis on Live! with Kelly and Michael in 2015, explaining in her memoir: "Neutrogena canceled my long-standing contract, and it was yet another blow in a year that had given almost nothing else."
Upon the release of the memoir in May, the comments sparked online criticism of Neutrogena, but the brand is now facing renewed backlash after Panettiere died Sunday in Greenville, South Carolina.
One Reddit post, which has more than 5,000 upvotes, proposed a boycott against the company in honor of Panettiere. The comments echoed that attitude, with users vowing to never buy products from the company again.

Speaking with EW in September 2025, Hayden Panettiere reflected on her daughter's role in reshaping her views about her own work.
"I'm proud of what I have accomplished in my career," the Heroes star said. "I think my daughter's really proud of me, and when she gets to watch certain things that I'm in, it means the world to me."
Panettiere died on Aug. 16 at age 36.
The outpouring of love from Hayden Panettiere's famous friends and collaborators following her death at 36 shows how loved she was by her peers. But the opinion of Panettiere's young daughter, Kaya, naturally meant the most to the Nashville star.
When Panettiere, who died Sunday, sat down for career-spanning interview with Entertainment Weekly in September 2025, the conversation started with her early roots on the soap operas Guiding Light and One Life to Live — a pair of performances that kicked off when she was only 5 years old. When asked how she reflects on her child stardom since having a daughter of her own, Panettiere went deep into contemplation.

On August 16, 2026, the Bring It On: All or Nothing actress was found unresponsive at an apartment complex in Greenville, South Carolina, having suffered from an apparent overdose and cardiac arrest, days away from her 37th birthday.
In the months before her passing, she released her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, in which she opened up about her battle with addiction as well as postpartum depression, and her relationship with her daughter.

Megyn Kelly is weighing in following the death of Hayden Panettiere.
Kelly took to her eponymous podcast on Monday, August 17, following the news of Hayden's death at 36, to speculate on the circumstances surrounding her passing.
"I am not surprised to read the news about Hayden Panettiere at all. I am sad. I lament the loss of this young woman, but I don't think it is a pattern we are ever going to correct for because there will always be parents who shove their child into the entertainment industry at too young and too precarious an age and don't have the skills or the desire to rescue them from the fallout that inevitably comes," Kelly, 55, said.
As In Touch previously reported, Hayden was ******* ounced dead after Greenville, South Carolina, officials responded to a 911 call on Sunday, August 16. According to audio obtained by People from the dispatch call on Sunday, responders were called to the apartment after a report of an apparent overdose and cardiac arrest. The Greenville Police Department is investigating the cause of death of the Remember the ******* ans star.
Kelly continued to point the finger at Hayden's parents, Lesley Vogel and Alan "Skip" Lee Panettiere, calling them "enablers" in the years following her rise to fame, with the actress — who shared daughter Kaya, 11, with her ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko — admitting to suffering from both postpartum depression and substance abuse over the last decade. Hayden also struggled following the death of her younger brother, Jansen Panettiere, who died in February 2023 at the age of 28 due to an undiagnosed heart condition.

Hayden Panettiere was a mom of one when she died at the age of 36 on Aug. 16.
Known for her roles in Remember the ******* ans, Heroes, Nashville and Scream, the late actress welcomed her daughter, Kaya, with her then-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko in December 2014. The former couple broke up four years later, with Panettiere eventually allowing Klitschko to have full custody of their daughter amid her struggles with mental health and substance abuse.
After Klitschko gained full custody, he relocated to Ukraine with Kaya. Despite living apart, Panettiere later wrote that she had an "incredibly strong" relationship with her daughter in her 2026 memoir This Is Me: A Reckoning.
"My daughter, Kaya, has lived with her dad, Wladimir Klitschko, since 2018," she wrote. "Not being under the same roof with her every day has been the most gut-wrenching experience of my life, and it's hard to describe the layers of emotion — including sadness, resentment, and anger — I've felt because of it."
Ahead, look back at five sweet snapshots of Panettiere and Klitschko with their daughter, Kaya.

#panettiere

Hayden Panettiere reportedly carried intense guilt over living apart from her daughter, Kaya, even after explaining that she had not been in the right mental state to raise her at the time. An insider claimed the custody decision continued to trouble the actress, who wrote candidly about motherhood, postpartum depression, and addiction in her memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning."
"Hayden's been racked with guilt about not being the mother she wanted for her child and allowing her ex-fiancé to bring up Kaya," the source told the Daily Mail. "She didn't believe she was in the right mental state to be a good mother at the time. It bothered her greatly."
The guilt reportedly existed alongside other painful relationships in Panettiere's life, including an estrangement from her mother and the abuse she said she endured during her turbulent romance with Brian Hickerson.
Panettiere recalled that Kaya's 2014 birth quickly became a frightening medical crisis. Doctors reportedly declared a "code crimson" emergency after Panettiere's blood would not clot following a C-section. She underwent a three-hour operation and later learned that her uterus had become infected. The traumatic delivery was followed by an equally difficult emotional period.
Panettiere described bonding with her newborn as an "insurmountable task," admitting that she "felt nothing" toward her daughter. She characterized the experience as "a total blackout of emotion."
