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.
