Actress Hayden Panettiere discussed her bond with her daughter, Kaya, in what is described as one of her final interviews, filmed about three months before her death at age 36. In the interview, Panettiere talks about their close relationship and characterizes Kaya as an important part of her life.
Multiple outlets note that Panettiere is survived by Kaya, 11, whom she shares with her ex, Wladimir Klitschko. While the articles focus on similar remarks about their mother-daughter connection, they differ mainly in phrasing and emphasis: one source highlights the interview’s timing as among her last, while another underscores the “mini-me” description attributed to Panettiere. Both accounts present the interview as a late personal reflection on Kaya, rather than new legal or factual developments surrounding her death.
Together, the reporting frames Panettiere’s final public comments as centered on motherhood, with consistent details about her age at death, Kaya’s survival, and the co-parenting relationship with Klitschko.
