Hayden Panettiere got emotional during her first television interview since the death of her brother, Jansen Panettiere. At the end of her "Good Morning America" interview to promote her new movie, "Scream VI," host Michael Strahan offered her his condolences.
She nodded, starting to tear up, and replied, "He’s right here with me." Panettiere’s brother died on Feb. 19 at just 28 years old.
Last week, the family released a statement offering a sweet tribute to their loved one and an official cause of death. "Jansen’s heart could be seen in his eyes, and his charm in his brilliant, engaging smile; his soul in his masterful and revealing paintings, and the joy of life in his dry wit," his family, including his famous older sister and his father and mother Skip and Lesley, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Though it offers little solace, the Medical Examiner reported Jansen's sudden passing was due to cardiomegaly (enlarged heart), coupled with aortic valve complications," the statement continued.
It is unknown if the condition was known to the family or Jansen prior to his death. A previous report from police detailed that "there were no obvious signs of trauma." Panettiere also appeared on the cover of Women's Health magazine, with an interview conducted a month before her brother’s death.
