Courteney Cox Remembers ‘Scream’ Co-Star Hayden Panettiere

Courteney Cox has spoken about the death of her “Scream” co-star Hayden Panettiere, who, according to Variety’s report, died in August at age 36.

Reflecting on filming 2023’s “Scream VI,” Cox described Panettiere as “a really wonderful actor” and said they had a great time working together. The actors first appeared together in 2011’s “Scream 4,” which introduced Panettiere to the franchise.

Tributes have also continued from Panettiere’s “Heroes” co-stars. Jimmy Jean-Louis described a reunion celebrating her life as emotional and filled with “love, gratitude and warmth,” while Jack Coleman shared a personal tribute on Instagram. Panettiere’s father previously told ABC that she was “an incredible light” who brought joy to those who knew her and watched her onscreen.

For entertainment audiences, Cox’s comments add another professional remembrance to the tributes surrounding an actor known for roles in both the “Scream” franchise and “Heroes.” As reported by Variety, the comments come from Cox’s recollection and the statements of Panettiere’s colleagues and family, rather than independent confirmation beyond that reporting.
