Hayden Panettiere neighbour reveals shock scenes in neighbourhood before actress’ death

Hayden Panettiere was twice taken from her Los Angeles home on a gurney during her relationship with Brian Hickerson, according to a former neighbor who has spoken about incidents she says she witnessed before the actress’ death at 36.

The Heroes and Nashville star died on August 16 after being found unresponsive at a residence in Greenville, South Carolina.

Authorities have said there were no signs of trauma or foul play, while her official cause and manner of death remain undetermined pending toxicology results.

Against that background, former neighbor Mia Terrazas has told Page Six she saw Hayden removed from her West Hollywood residence by emergency workers on July 29, 2023, and January 16, 2024.

Mia said Hayden appeared to have “bruises” and “bright red spots” during the incidents and added her ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson, 37, was present and “glued to” her on both occasions.

Mia’s daughter, Vileena Koneru, also told Page Six she also witnessed both incidents.

Mia said during the July 2023 incident she approached Hayden while she was on the gurney and asked whether she was alright.

Vileena said she and her mother raised their “concerns” with first responders when another incident occurred in January 2024.

Mia also claimed she repeatedly heard “muffled arguments” coming from Hayden’s home, describing them as “very hostile”.

Mia claimed that on another occasion she heard Hayden screaming at Brian in an elevator: “Just leave me alone! Just stop!”

Brian had previously faced criminal proceedings stemming from allegations involving Hayden.

In 2021, he pleaded no contest to two felony counts of injuring a spouse or girlfriend and received a jail sentence and probation.

Hayden later wrote about their relationship and the abuse she experienced in her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, which was published in May.

Brian publicly addressed his past behavior in an interview with TMZ in May.
