Read More Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, actress and former wife of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, has passed away at the age of 62. She was found dead at her Los Angeles home on Wednesday, March 5. According to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner, her death was ruled a suicide caused by a gunshot wound to the head.



Reports indicate that Pamela’s family became concerned after not hearing from her and decided to check on her. TMZ was the first to report the news. David Hasselhoff’s representative shared a statement with PEOPLE, expressing the family’s sorrow.

“Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time, but we kindly request privacy as we grieve and navigate through this challenging time." Pamela shared two daughters with David—Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32.

Her Instagram was filled with heartfelt posts about them, as well as her granddaughter. Taylor welcomed a daughter, London, in August with her husband, Madison Fiore, whom she married in February 2023. Her final Instagram post, shared on New Year’s Eve, featured her posing in front of a decorated Christmas tree and a video of her granddaughter.

“As we step into 2025, my heart is full of gratitude, especially for my precious grandbaby, ????London🎀. Watching her grow and seeing her smile light up my world is truly the greatest blessing," Pamela wrote. She continued, “Here’s to a year of making cherished memories, spreading joy, and embracing every precious moment!" Pamela and David, now 72, first met on the set of Knight Rider, where she appeared as a guest star.

She later joined him on multiple episodes of Baywatch. Neither Taylor nor Hayley has publicly commented on their mother’s passing. However, Hayley subtly acknowledged the loss by reposting a throwback photo of her parents from 1996.

The image, taken at the grand opening of the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios Hollywood, was accompanied by a simple white heart emoji, “🤍."
