The reason why Hayden Panettiere gave up custody of daughter Kaya

Hayden Panettiere is survived by her 11-year-old daughter, Kaya. After she was born, the actress suffered from postpartum depression as well as struggled with addiction.

On Jay Shetty’s podcast On Purpose, Panettiere spoke about the devastating decision of allowing Kaya’s father, Klitchko, to regain full custody of their daughter.

“Not being under the same roof with her every day has been the most gut-wrenching experience of my life, and it’s hard to describe the layers of emotion—including sadness, resentment, and anger—I’ve felt because of it,” she wrote in her memoir.
