Hayden Panettiere overleed op 16 augustus, waarna haar voormalige collega's van de NBC-serie Heroes samenkwamen om haar te herdenken.
Jimmy Jean-Louis, die The Haitian speelde in de serie, plaatste foto's van de bijeenkomst op X en beschreef de sfeer als diep ontroerend.
A Heroes reunion to celebrate the life of HAYDEN was deeply emotional. There was sadness in our hearts, but also so much love, gratitude, and warmth as we remembered the beautiful moments shared and the lasting impact of a life that touched so many. Au revoir, Hayden.
Toen het nieuws over het overlijden van Panettiere bekend werd, plaatsten andere castleden berichten waarin ze terugkeken op hun samenwerking met haar.
I love you, Hayden. I’ll miss you. I’m so sorry you suffered. I’ll remember how happy you were on set and on the European press tour; how you championed Tess when she was being bullied; your commitment to animal welfare and the courage to put yourself in harm’s way to protect them. I only wish you had been given that same protection.
Masi Oka, bekend als Hiro Nakamura, uitte eveneens zijn verdriet en herinnerde zich hun professionele samenwerking.
Absolutely heartbroken to hear about Hayden. I had the privilege of working closely with her, and I’ll always remember her for her beautiful spirit, immense talent, and the joyful energy she brought to everything she did and the people around her. She was way wiser beyond her years and now gone too soon… My heart goes out to her family and everyone who loved her. Rest in peace, Hayden.
