Ruby Rose got emotional when asked about her friend, Hayden Panettiere, who died Aug. 16 at 36. Rose told Entertainment Tonight that Panettiere was her “best friend” and that they “spoke every day for five years.” “I didn’t even think we were going to be friends,” Rose said, tearing up. Can we go talk somewhere?
We’ve got a lot in common.’ I just laughed.” The two quickly became close after realizing they “had everything in common,” Rose said. Throughout their five-year friendship, they texted each other every day to check in. Panettiere, who was known for her roles on “Heroes,” “Nashville,” “Scream 4” and “Scream VI,” openly spoke about her struggles with drug and alcohol addiction in her 2026 memoir, “This Is Me: A Reckoning.” Days after her death, the Drug Enforcement Administration joined the investigation, working with South Carolina’s Greenville Police Department to determine her cause of death.
Hollywood stars shared tributes online after news of her death became public, including Jack Coleman, who played her father on “Heroes.” “I’m heartbroken. I couldn’t begin to put my thoughts into words until now, and they will be inadequate,” Coleman wrote. From that day on, she called me daddio.
She was Haydini, because she was a magician.”
