\nJack Coleman, the \u201cHeroes\u201d actor who played the father of Hayden Panettiere\u2018s Claire Bennet, posted an emotional tribute to his late co-star following her death this week at 36 years old. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m heartbroken. I couldn\u2019t begin to put my thoughts into words until now, and they will be inadequate,\u201d Coleman wrote on Instagram alongside a carousel of photos of the two actors on the \u201cHeroes\u201d set throughout the years. \u201cI\u2019ve loved Hayden since day one of the pilot of \u2018Heroes,\u2019 20 years ago, when she introduced herself by shouting \u2018daddy\u2019 and throwing her arms around me. From that day on, she called me daddio. She was Haydini, because she was a magician.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tColeman used his tribute to express some of the ways he saw the industry negatively impact his younger co-star, including reporters who would ask her inappropriate questions when she was just a teenager.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBy 17 she was\u00a0#1\u00a0on IMDB Pro. She was routinely asked obnoxious questions, mostly some version of \u2018when are you going to go off the rails?’\u201d Coleman recalled. \u201cToday, we\u2019d recognize those questions for the misogynistic provocations they were.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe was hunted. Everywhere she went, there were photographers with 300 millimeter lenses \u2014 the kind that can make even the most innocent activity look sinister,\u201d he continued. \u201cOnce, when she came to our house, paparazzi hid in the bushes behind our yard and drove onto neighbors\u2019 lawns. They were predatory. No one, especially a teenager, should be targeted that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tColeman concluded, \u201cToday I\u2019m filled with sorrow and regret. And anger. But that\u2019s for another time. Right now I want to remember an extraordinary young woman who was blessed and cursed. She was vulnerable. She felt everything. It made her a remarkable actor and susceptible to the heartache and thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tColeman and Panettiere played central characters on \u201cHeroes\u201d during its original four season run on NBC from 2006 to 2010. Coleman returned for the 2015 \u201cReborn\u201d miniseries. Many of Panettiere\u2019s \u201cHeroes\u201d co-stars have posted tributes to her in the wake of her death. Sendhil Ramamurthy, who played Mohinder Suresh, remembered how Panettiere would stand up for mistreated background actors on set and knew every crew member\u2019s name, for instance.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn an exclusive essay for Variety,<\/em> \u201cHeroes\u201d creator Tim Kring praised Panettiere as a \u201csingularly talented\u201d actor, adding: \u201cHayden was a true team player, which was important for a show with a large ensemble cast. She was levelheaded beyond her years as a person, with an almost savant-like quality about her work. It wasn\u2019t just that Hayden could learn lines with ease \u2014 it was her rare ability to find and explore the nuances of drama and humor and pathos in any scene she was in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPanettiere\u2019s death is currently under investigation, but there were \u201cnot any signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances,\u201d according to police.<\/p>\n
