“Nashville” actress Hayden Panettiere died, her representative confirmed to Fox News Digital. She was 36.

Circumstances surrounding her death were not immediately made available.

“It 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 – and to the millions who watched her onscreen,” her rep said in a statement provided to ABC News.

The New York native began acting at a young age, and was cast in “One Life to Live” when she was 4 years old. She found fame with a starring role alongside Denzel Washington in the 2000 classic, “Remember the Titans.”

It was at the age of 15 when Panettiere remembered being offered “happy pills,” and her addiction to opioids and alcohol began.

“They were to make me peppy during interviews,” Panettiere told People in 2022. “I had no idea that this was not an appropriate thing, or what door that would open for me when it came to my addiction.”

Panettiere noted that as her career skyrocketed, she was drinking and occasionally taking opioids.

“As I got older, the drugs and alcohol became something I almost couldn’t live without,” she admitted. {FoxNews}
