Hayden Panettiere is opening up about one of the darkest days of her life -- the devastating moment she learned her younger brother, Jansen, had died.

In "This Is Me: A Reckoning," Hayden says she was preparing for the "Scream VI" premiere in 2023 when she intentionally ignored a call from her dad ... only to answer when he rang her again, and delivered the tragic news.

According to Hayden, her father was hysterical and struggling to breathe as he explained Jansen had missed a 9 AM appointment, prompting a friend to check on him -- only to find him dead in a chair with a comforter over him, like he’d simply fallen asleep.

Hayden Panettiere is revealing just how terrifying her postpartum depression battle became -- admitting she spiraled so badly she needed alcohol the second she woke up just to function.

Hayden says the whole thing was horrifying ... recalling the singer shirtless in bed, propped up on pillows with his arms behind his head, while she could clearly see the outline of his body under the sheets -- all while Stella hyped up his "huge d***."
