Hayden Panettiere's daughter is safe
The 32-year-old actress has daughter Kaya with the retired Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko - but Hayden has confirmed via social media that she's not in any danger, following Russia's invasion of the country.
In response to a comment on Instagram, Hayden said: "she's safe and not in Ukraine [thumbs-up emoji] (sic)"
The 'Heroes' actress has also voiced her support for Ukraine on social media.
She wrote online: "I have personally witnessed the strength of the Ukrainian people who fought so hard for their independence and have continued to passionately defend their country over the years.
"This horrific moment in history sends a terrifying message: the message that in this day and age, in year 2022, it's okay to violate the rights of free people and allow autocrats like Putin to take whatever they please."
Hayden wishes she could provide more support to Ukraine.
She said: "I'm praying for my family and friends there and everyone who's fighting. I wish you had more support and I wish I was there fighting with you!"
The actress also encouraged her followers to voice their support for democracy.
She explained: "For now, I ask for those of us who can't be there to stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and show your support for #democracy (sic)"
Meanwhile, Wladimir recently enlisted in Ukraine's reserve army.
The 45-year-old former heavyweight champion and his brother Vitali Klitschko - who is also a former heavyweight champion - have both pledged to fight for their country.
Wladimir said: "We will defend ourselves with all our might and fight for freedom and democracy. You can also act. Let not fear seize us; let's not remain frozen. Putin shoots at Ukrainian cities, but he aims at our hearts and, more importantly, at our minds."
