Hannah, 27, opened up about a deeply personal and "terrifying" moment of her childhood when her aunt and two young cousins were violently "murdered."
The reality star spoke about their death in her new book God Bless This Mess, where she recalled her father saying he would no longer be attending her dance recital.
The TV personality, who was six at the time, was in the bathroom getting ready for her big night when her dad explained he wouldn't be able to make it because he needed to "go help" her Aunt LeeLee.
In the excerpt obtained from E! News, Hannah continued on to say that her father didn't return "for days", and wasn't back to celebrate Mother's Day with their family.
The ABC star's mother then sat her down along with her brother to share that her Aunt and her two cousins Robin, six, and Trent, four, were murdered by a man in their home.
"When my mom told us that somebody had come into their house and 'hurt them,' it terrified me in the deepest parts of my heart," she remembered.

"Like I said, I didn't know the whole story with all the details until years later, but coming that close to something so awful, so terrifying—it was a turning point for me.
"It changed everything. I was no longer living in the innocence of an untouched childhood," Hannah explained.
The former beauty pageant queen recalled how she began having horrible "nightmares" which led to trouble sleeping and eventually "narcolepsy" in her adulthood.
PETE'S CHANCE
Hannah's book, out for release on November 23, not only details her childhood trauma, but also her relationship with Bachelor star Peter Weber.
The former couple had a strong connection during Hannah's season of The Bachelorette in 2019 before she ultimately chose Jed Wyatt in the finale.
Pete, 30, then returned to his quest for love starring as the Bachelor the following season.
In a conversation with PEOPLE, she revealed that the exes were intimate during Pete's season as the leading man.
She told the publication: "I was so upset breaking up with him. I know he really did care about me and he's such a great guy. I was really confused."
She also confessed that hearing that Pete was continuing his run on the show helped her move on.
"Once I knew that it helped shield my feelings for him. I still didn't know if I could get there with him."
However, they later did reconnect when she appeared on an episode of his season.
"Going back and seeing him as the Bachelor, it brought up a lot," she said adding that Pete made a declaration off-camera to keep their romance going.
"Peter told me he'd quit the show, 100 percent if I could say that I wanted to be with him. I wanted to go on a date with him, but I couldn't say that I knew for sure."
Pete ended up proposing to Hannah Ann Sluss on the show before ending their engagement to explore a relationship with another woman, runner-up Madison Prewett.
INTIMATE MOMENT
Meanwhile, Pete and Hannah crossed paths again while at a party together, as the TV star recalled in her book that they ended up in bed together.
"The chemistry just wasn't there. It just sucked. And then, I found out he had another girl [Madison] on his mind. It was all so bizarre," she recounted.
The two broke off communication for good after that night as Hannah said she is happy with the place she is in.

"Things might not have turned out the way I expected, but I try to learn from every moment. I don't wish ill on anybody. And I'm in a really good place."
The TV personality has since found love with boyfriend Adam Woolard.
