Hayden Panettiere will be honored at a celebration of life this weekend, one month after the actress’ tragic passing — and her ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson is not invited to the memorial.
The event will take place at a Malibu, California, church on Saturday, TMZ reported Friday.
A source shared that the coastal location was selected due to Panettiere’s love of the ocean and whales.
An estimated 150 of the late “Nashville” alum’s family members, close friends and former colleagues are expected to attend, according to the outlet.
Brian and his brother Zach Hickerson, both of whom attempted to resuscitate the “Heroes” alum when she died in South Carolina on Aug. 16, also did not receive invites, per the outlet.
Panettiere had a tumultuous on-again, off-again romance with Brian, dating back to 2018.
In 2021, Brian pleaded no contest to two felony counts of injuring a spouse or girlfriend — and Panettiere described the abuse in her “This Is Me Now” memoir, which came out in May.
She and Brian reconnected prior to her death, with a source telling Page Six she kept “many of her friends” in the dark about the reconciliation.
Panettiere’s mom, Lesley Vogel, has also been left off the guest list, per TMZ, while dad Skip Panettiere is expected to attend.
Hayden’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The investigation into the a death — which featured “no signs of foul play” — is still ongoing.
The Drug Enforcement Administration, notably, joined the investigation last month.
Officials are allegedly honing in on Hayden’s Los Angeles drug dealer, thanks to a “slew of” incriminating text messages.
While her cause of death is not yet known, TMZ reported Monday that Hayden died of a single fentanyl-laced oxycodone pill.
The coroner, however, issued a statement reading, “We have not released anything at this time. We will send out an email release when ready.”
Hayden’s spokesperson echoed the need to wait for “the completion of toxicology results,” railing against “recent reports attributed to unnamed sources [that] … have attributed to conflicting information that continues to circulate.”
