Details

During the consideration of the case, lawyer Klychko Diane Park emphasized the need to provide the athlete with additional legal powers. In particular, it was about the possibility to turn to law enforcement officers for assistance in the investigation and return of property, which, according to assumptions, could be misappropriated by a third party.

Context

Panettiere died suddenly on August 16, 2026, at the age of 36. The actress was found without signs of life in a home in Greenville, South Carolina, and doctors later confirmed her death. After the tragedy, Klitschko went to court to get the authority to protect the property that should be inherited by his daughter.

What's next

As a result, the court granted the petition and granted Klitschko temporary powers of the guardian of Panettiere's property so that he could protect his daughter's inheritance until the appointment of a permanent administrator. The next hearing was scheduled for December 7, but the judge noted that the girl did not have to be present.

Wladimir Klitschko and Hayden Panettiere met in 2008, and later began dating. In 2013, the couple got engaged, and in December 2014, their daughter Kai was born. Subsequently, their relationship ended, and after the breakup in 2018, Klitschko received custody of the child.
