Grieving Hayden Panettiere hits red carpet premiere of her comeback movie Scream VI

Hayden Panettiere hit the red carpet Monday for the first time since his younger brother Jansen died of an enlarged heart at age 28.

The 33-year-old actress attended the world premiere of her new movie Scream VI, which hits theaters March 10 and has her return as Kirby Reed from 2011’s Scream 4.

The blonde beauty’s red carpet appearance also came just hours after she appeared on Good Morning America… where she cried while talking about her late brother.

Panettiere hit the red carpet Monday night at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater, posing with one of his co-stars, Jasmin Savoy Brown.

She arrived in an off the shoulder black mini dress while staying warm with a black scarf wrapped around her neck.

She had her blonde locks up in a bun while accessorizing herself with gold diamond-encrusted earrings and a series of gold rings.

The actress also kept warm in a black trench coat that fell down the red carpet while opting for black pantyhose.

The actress returns as Kirby Reed in the sixth installment of the Scream franchise, more than a decade after her debut in 2011’s Scream 4.

Reed was a 17-year-old high school senior in the fictional town of Woodsboro, California in that film, which was set on the anniversary of the original Ghostface murders… which spawned a new killer.

While her fate was left uncertain at the end of Scream 4, she had a brief photo cameo at the end of Scream 5, confirming her as the sole survivor and the last girl of that massacre.

She returns in Scream VI, which takes the action to New York City, with several different survivors of the Ghostface murders hoping for a fresh start in the Big Apple.

Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera return from last year’s fifth installment as half-sisters Tara and Sam Carpenter, along with twins Chad (Mason Gooding) and Mindy Meeks (Jasmine Savoy Brown), along with Scream franchise mainstay Courteney. Cox, as Gail Weathers.

Just hours before hitting the red carpet, Panettiere gave her first interview since losing her younger brother, on Monday’s Good Morning America.

When GMA presenter Michael Strahan offered his condolences, she placed a hand on her heart and said: ‘Thank you. He is here with me,’ as her voice began to crack.

His family issued a statement at the time of his passing, which began: ‘Jansen’s heart could be seen in his eyes and his charm in his bright and captivating smile; the soul of him in his masterful and revealing paintings, and the joy of living in his dry wit.’

“His charisma, warmth, compassion for others, and creative spirit will forever live in our hearts and the hearts of everyone he met,” the statement added.

“Though it offers little comfort, the medical examiner reported that Jansen’s sudden passing was due to cardiomegaly (enlarged heart), along with aortic valve complications,” the statement continued.

“We sincerely appreciate the outpouring of love and support for our family as we navigate this unthinkable loss, and ask that we be given our privacy during this time of mourning,” the family added.

“We love you very much, Jansen, and you will be in our hearts forever,” the statement concluded.

According to a police report, Jansen’s body was discovered at his home by three friends who found him “unresponsive” in a chair and desperately tried to revive him with CPR.
