An Easter egg in the fifth film, 2022's Scream, revealed that Kirby did survive. A call from Panettiere to the franchise's current creative team (known as Radio Silence) was enough to clinch her reappearance for Scream VI, which finds Kirby as an FBI agent who comes to New York City following another Ghostface attack.
During the conversation, Kirby mentioned how she survived Scream 4, saying that she nearly died after being stabbed twice before reiterating that she technically did die for several minutes before being resuscitated. The situation was clearly touch-and-go based on the severity of the injuries.
Kirby was presumably resuscitated after she was rescued from her basement, after suffering two stabs to the stomach. It is unknown whether she overheard Jill's rant to Sidney, and the subsequent chaos.
Finally, 11 years later, Scream (aka Scream 5) confirmed that Kirby was, in fact, alive. It turns out, she was the only young survivor of the high school teens attacked by Ghostface, who turned out to be her friends, Jill (Roberts) and Charlie (Culkin).
Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere), the fan-favorite final girl of Scream 4, makes a lot of sense to be one of the Ghostface killers in Scream 6. Kirby was stabbed in Scream 4, and it wasn't clear whether she survived. Then, she showed up in a blink-and-you'll-miss Easter egg in 2022's Scream.

Though the seventh film is still in the works, the franchise has hit a bump in the road as it has been reported that several cast members will no longer return for the sequel.
Detective Bailey, Quinn Bailey, and Ethan Landry were revealed as the killers at the end of Scream 6. Their motive was revenge for Detective Bailey's son's death.
Since Ghostface hurts Chad so badly and he bleeds so much, it seems impossible for him to survive. However, the final scene of Scream 6 shows Chad alive and with his friends. While he will have to deal with the trauma that he has been through, he is of course relieved that the nightmare is over, at least for now.
Since Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (2000), Kirby has been voiced by Japanese voice actress Makiko Ohmoto. She also voiced him in every title in the Super Smash Bros. series, beginning with the first Super Smash Bros. game in 1999.
These differences in personality may be due to Kirby's reduced age in the anime, being implied to be essentially a baby. Despite these differences, other aspects remain the same.
Kirby was tricked by Charlie and Jill into believing Charlie was in trouble, and when she helped him, he stabbed her – and for all she knew, Charlie was the only Ghostface.
If a Kirby attempts to copy another Kirby that has no Copy Ability, the swallowed Kirby will pop out normally, though a different sound will play (which plays in the Kirby games when he copies an enemy with no ability). If a Kirby swallows a Kirby with a Copy Ability, he will steal it away from them.
They flee upstairs and barricade themselves in Quinn's room. Mindy goes into Quinn's bathroom only to walk in on a literal bloodbath. The dead body of Paul, Quinn's hookup, lay contorted in the bathtub, giving Mindy a scare.
Eventually Sidney made her way back inside the house, where she learned Ghostface was really Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. With the help of Gale Weathers, she saved her father and killed both Billy and Stu.
The absence of Sam and Tara's story in Scream 7 makes it unclear how the series will continue. The departure of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega leaves numerous mysteries surrounding Sam and Tara unresolved.
Before Scream 7 went through a whole creative reset, Billy was expected to return in Scream 7 as there are many unanswered questions about Sam and her link to Billy. However, now that Barrera is no longer part of Scream 7, bringing Billy back wouldn't make sense as Sam was the one who had hallucinations of him.
“Scream 6” rides the momentum of the previous film and ups the ante in every way. It's funnier, scarier and much much bloodier. If you aren't a fan of gore, walk into this film with some caution. The kills are more frequent and take up more screen time than ever before.
Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere), whose fate was left ambiguous in the post-Scream 4 purgatory and was confirmed alive in a Scream (2022) Easter egg, made her triumphant return in the slasher series' latest sequel. And with her came official confirmation Stu is dead—at least, for now.
She rises to hero status by the end and is left near-fatally wounded. Being the only unconfirmed victim of the Woodsboro Remake, Kirby was confirmed alive through a photographic cameo in the fifth entry, making her the sole teen survivor of the fourth film and a final girl.
More specifically, Kirby was seemingly killed by the aforementioned Charlie, who was revealed to be in cahoots with mastermind killer Jill Roberts (Emma Roberts). However, two blink-and-you'll-miss-it-moments from 2022's Scream appear to confirm that Kirby managed to escape with her life after all.
