Panettiere’s career spanned three decades, with a string of roles in other hit shows and films, including the Scream horror franchise and romantic comedy I Love You, Beth Cooper.

Her Scream co-star Melissa Barrera paid tribute to the actress in an Instagram story, writing “rest in peace sweet Hayden”, alongside a broken heart emoji.

Earlier this year, she released a memoir titled This Is Me: A Reckoning, recounting the struggles of growing up as a child actor and her experiences with addiction, abuse and later recovery.

In May, Panettiere spoke to the BBC’s US partner CBS News about her mother taking her as an “eight-month-old baby into audition rooms”.

“It went from there and progressed into 50 commercials by the time I was five… It just never stopped,” she said.

Panettiere is survived by her daughter Kaya with her ex-partner, Ukrainian former world heavyweight champion boxer, Wladimir Klitschko.
