Hayden Panettiere, known for her roles in Heroes and Nashville, has died, according to ABC News. She was 36.

“It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. 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 onscreen,” her representative said in a statement.

Details surrounding her death are currently unknown. A rep for Panettiere did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s message.

Beginning her career as a child star, Panettiere is also known for her film and television roles in Remember the Titans, Raising Helen, Scream 4, Scream VI, I Love You, Beth Cooper, and more.
