"Jansen's heart was in his eyes and his charm in his bright, engaging smile; his soul in his masterful and insightful paintings and the joie de vivre in his wry wit," mother Lesley Vogel said in a statement, according to ABC News , father Alan Lee "Skip" Panettiere and his sister Hayden.

The family of Jansen Panettiere, who worked as an actor and voice actor, added: "His charisma, warmth, compassion for others and creative spirit will live forever in our hearts and in the hearts of everyone he met.

His family also thanked them for "the love and support" as they "work through this unthinkable loss and ask that we have our privacy at this time of grief." The family of the deceased further explained: "We love you so much Jansen and you will always be in our hearts."
