Hayden Panettiere’s estranged mother and former manager, Lesley Vogel, has spoken out about her daughter’s shocking death at the age of 36.

In an interview with NBC News, Vogel said, “I think Hayden was an amazingly talented person in so many departments and I think young people who grow up in the entertainment industry — it is a struggle and it’s a very challenging industry and it’s not unusual for them to sadly find the wrong path. I think it becomes very difficult to be true to yourself, and I think Hayden sadly lost her way, and I wish it were different. I wish she had stayed true to herself because she had many incredible attributes.”
