David Hasselhoff's Ex-Wife Pamela Bach Dies By Self-Inflicted Gunshot

David Hasselhoff's ex-wife, Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, has died by suicide at the age of 62.

Pamela was found dead in her home in Hollywood Hills after her family members had become worried after not hearing from her.

David and Pamela married in 1989, but she filed for divorce in January 2006, citing irreconcilable differences. The former couple shared two daughters, Hayley, 34, and Taylor, 32.

News of Pamela's death broke on Thursday after she was found dead at her $2 million home in Hollywood Hills.

According to TMZ, Pamela's family members grew concerned after getting no word from her and tried to get in touch with her.

Paramedics arrived at Pamela's residence shortly after 10 p.m. on Wednesday, responding to a call about an unconscious woman.

However, they pronounced Pamela dead at the scene with a self-inflicted wound to the head. No note was found at the scene.

Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) arrived shortly after.

David made a statement about Pamela's demise soon after it was confirmed.

The "Baywatch" actor told TMZ, "Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff."

He continued, "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."

Meanwhile, David and Pamela's oldest daughter, Hayley Hasselhoff, reposted a picture of her parents on her Instagram Stories.

She captioned the post with a white heart emoji.

Pamela remained active on social media until her last days. The actress had 11.3k followers on Instagram, where she usually shared pictures and videos of some of her most precious moments.

Hours before paramedics found her dead, Pamela commented on her daughter Hayley's Instagram post.

Hayley had shared a picture and a video of her flaunting her figure and blonde hair in a black gown while applying lipstick. Pamela commented on the post with an emoji.

Her last post was on January 1, when she shared a montage showing as she posed in front of a Christmas tree.

In the post's caption, Pamela gushed over her granddaughter and looked forward to a beautiful 2025.

She wrote, "Happy New Year, everyone! As we step into 2025, my heart is full of gratitude, especially for my precious grandbaby, London."

She continued, "Watching her grow and seeing her smile light up my world is truly the greatest blessing. My wish for all of you this year is health, happiness, and an abundance of love."

Pamela concluded, "May 2025 be filled with beautiful moments, laughter, and all the blessings your hearts can hold. Here's to a year of making cherished memories, spreading joy, and embracing every precious moment."

Pamela had a very close bond with her granddaughter. On October 28, 2024, she shared a photo of them alongside the caption, "I Never Knew a LOVE like THIS. It's Powerful, Pure, Unconditional LOVE I Have Deep in my Soul and Being as I do for my Precious and Perfect GrandDaughter "London Hasselhoff Fiore"."

She concluded, "It's incredible how a tiny human can open our tiny hearts in such profound ways. I'm so blessed and Grateful for My lil, BEAUTIFUL Angel. I LOVE YOU Lovely London With All of Me."

After getting married in 1989, Pamela and David remained a couple until she filed for divorce in January 2006. Their divorce was finalized in August 2006.

Following the divorce, Pamela and David were given custody of each of their daughters.

In a statement to AP after their divorce finalization, Pamela said, "I've always loved him and always will, and have love and compassion for him. It's a very, very sad day, but a day to move on."

Pamela never remarried after splitting from David. However, the actor, who was previously married to Catherine Hickland before marrying Pamela, tied the knot with Hayley Roberts in 2018.

After divorcing David, Pamela gradually stepped away from acting to focus more on her personal life and family.

She made her acting debut in 1983 in the movie, "Rumble Fish," but is most famous for portraying Kaye Morgan on "Baywatch" from 1989 to 1999.
