Bethany Joy Lenz has shared a heartbreaking tribute to Hayden Panettiere following the actress' death at 36, admitting: 'I don't understand how this is real.'
In social media posts, the One Tree Hill star reflected on her 27-year connection with Panettiere, whom she knew from childhood and watched grow up. Lenz recalled thinking Panettiere was 'coming BACK to life' and questioned how she could be gone when 'there's still so much more life.'
