Actress and singer Hayden Panettiere tragically died on Sunday, Aug. 16, at the age of 36.

Her father, Skip Panettiere, announced her death in a statement late Sunday evening.

“It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden,” the statement read. “She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her — and to the millions who watched her on-screen. We ask for privacy as our family takes time to process this unimaginable loss.”

911 dispatch audio acquired by Page Six reports that paramedics responded to a call about an “unidentified female” in “cardiac arrest” on Sunday, and within minutes, “CPR [was] in progress” for the “overdose.”

Panettiere’s career began in 1994, and she appeared on several soap operas throughout the ’90s. She remains best known for her roles in the long-running series “Heroes” and “Nashville,” and for her work in the films “Bring It On: All or Nothing” and “Ice Princess.”

Here are seven movies and shows we recommend streaming to celebrate Panettiere’s life and career.
