The emotional interview clip shows Panettiere speaking about her late brother, who passed away unexpectedly in 2023 from heart complications.

“Losing my little brother, there’s nothing like, I mean he’s my only sibling and he is my younger sibling, and it was my job to protect him,” Panettiere said to PEOPLE.

“When I lost him, I felt like I lost half of my soul. I remember saying to somebody, and it hadn’t even been a year, and I was like ‘Don’t ever expect me to get over the loss of him because no matter how many years ago by, it will always be beside me,” Panettiere continued.Hayden Panettiere Fans Concerned Over Sobriety
