  • Wladimir Klitschko has filed a court petition seeking temporary guardianship of late actor Hayden Panettiere's estate on behalf of their 11-year-old daughter, Kaya.
  • Panettiere, known for her roles in TV series including Nashville and Heroes, died on August 16 at age 36 from an accidental drug overdose, leaving Kaya as the sole beneficiary.
  • In court documents, Klitschko expressed concern that Panettiere's belongings, including jewelry, have already been pawned off or mishandled by non-family members.
  • The filing also claims that unauthorized individuals accessed Panettiere's home prior to her death and destroyed her emails, risking further loss of estate assets.
  • A court hearing to determine Klitschko's petition for temporary guardianship of the estate is set for Thursday.
