“I grieve that I’m not the mother I thought I’d be and definitely not the mother I want to be (trust me, no one should ever have to raise a child on FaceTime), and although I miss Kaya so much my heart aches, I know how blessed I am to be her mom,” Panettiere continued. “She is the greatest gift of my life, with all the best parts of her father and me.”

The now-late actress added, “She didn’t ask to be born into the limelight or my chaos, and she didn’t get to choose her parents. I want her to have every choice that I didn’t, including the ability to live a private life.”

Rest in peace, Hayden Panettiere.
