Boxing great Wladimir Klitschko reacts publicly to the death of actress Hayden Panettiere, saying his family is going through “profound shock and grief.” Multiple outlets report that Klitschko attributes his sense of shock to the loss of his ex-partner, and he posts a tribute reflecting on their time together.
Several reports describe Klitschko sharing comments on social media, including an emotional message about how nothing changes the memories they shared and the place Panettiere had in his life. Some outlets add that he also addresses a pledge or message to his daughter in connection with the death, while others focus more closely on the wording of his tribute and his personal remarks about their relationship. While the tone is consistently mournful, the coverage varies in emphasis—some highlight the shock and grief expressed, others highlight reflections on shared life and family context.
All accounts agree that Klitschko’s statement comes after Panettiere’s death over the weekend, and that he speaks in the context of his family’s reaction to her passing.
