Wladimir Klitschko, former fiancé of late actress Hayden Panettiere, has filed a court petition in the United States seeking temporary guardianship of her estate on behalf of their 11-year-old daughter, Kaya. Panettiere died on August 16 from an accidental drug overdose. Klitschko claims that some of her belongings, including jewelry, have been pawned by a non-family member, and that her emails were destroyed. He fears further loss of assets. A separate dispute over her earrings between her parents remains unresolved. A court hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
