\n\tThough a cause of death has not been released, her father told ABC News on Sunday: \u201cIt is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her \u2014 and to the millions who watched her onscreen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tViola Davis shared a moving tribute to Panettiere on Instagram. She and her husband, Julius Tennon, starred with Panettiere in the 2016 courtroom drama \u201cCustody.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat an amazing talent you were\u2026.so gifted,\u201d Davis wrote. \u201cJulius and I loved working with you\u2026.an old, wise soul with such a deep heart. I wish the world had more time with you because I had a burning curiosity about who you were becoming. I saw this beautiful Phoenix rising from the ashes. Your tests became your testimony, and your testimony became your legacy. You will be remembered. Rest well, Hayden. Sending healing prayers to your family, your daughter, and all who loved you. May they always speak your name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPanettiere\u2019s close friend and \u201cOne Tree Hill\u201d star Bethany Joy Lenz also penned a lengthy remembrance on social media alongside photos of them over the years. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m crushed,\u201d Lenz wrote. \u201cI knew the wild little blonde. Was she nine? Ten? I was eighteen. She ran through the Screen Gem studio hallways at 222 E44th St. laughing and playing games in between blocking and camera rehearsals. Long, unruly curls trailing behind her. She knew her lines and everyone else\u2019s. Her intelligence was astonishing. She understood scenes and nuance and human struggle like no child I\u2019d ever seen on camera. And she\u2019d sit with you for a great conversation, then giggle and go play.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe continued, \u201cWe\u2019d connect on and off over the years, like the cousin in the family reunion who got famous and life moved her away\u2014but I always felt such joy seeing her when we were lucky enough to cross paths. We\u2019d make a pact to talk soon. Lunch. Dinner. Somewhere we could curl up into a corner\u2014but we never quite made it happen. I mostly stayed up to date through mutual friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLenz concluded: \u201cI dont understand how this is real. Everything seemed to be turning around. She was coming BACK to life, wasn\u2019t she? It\u2019s too young and there\u2019s still so much more life. And her daughter\u2026. Hayden, you are surround by love. I\u2019m sorry for every moment I didn\u2019t reach out or check in. This can\u2019t be real.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRest in peace sweet Hayden,\u201d Panettiere\u2019s \u201cScream 6\u201d co-star Melissa Barrera wrote on her Instagram Story.<\/p>\n

\n\tJay Shetty commented on Variety<\/em>\u2018s Instagram post about the news: \u201cI can\u2019t believe it. Our friendship had just begun and I was so moved by the conversation we shared earlier this year. My love and condolences to her family and fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSelma Blair posted, \u201cI love you. Don\u2019t be gone. Please.\u201d <\/p>\n
