The actress and former wife of "Baywatch" star David Hasselhoff has died. Authorities revealed details, while loved ones reflect on her life and legacy.

Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, a familiar face on television and the former wife of David Hasselhoff, has passed away at 62. She was found dead in her Los Angeles home.

According to TMZ, Pamela died by suicide. Law enforcement sources said that after family members became concerned when they hadn't heard from her, they went to check on her home. They found the house locked and, upon entering, discovered her inside.

Emergency responders arrived shortly after 10 p.m. on Wednesday following a report of an unconscious woman. Pamela was pronounced dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) also responded to the scene.

Authorities later stated that no suicide note was found. David addressed the loss in a statement on X, expressing his family's sorrow over Pamela's passing. The 72-year-old actor thanked everyone for their support and requested privacy as they mourn.

Pamela's representative, Sharon Kelly, also expressed her heartbreak, "I am in shock and still processing the loss of my dear client Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff. Pamela was a 'Force of Nature' ... She will be missed."

She also highlighted Pamela's deep love for her family, adding, "Pamela often talked about how very proud she was of both her daughters and what they have blossomed into. She was a 'Proud Mama'!"

Pamela was born on October 16, 1963, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She built a successful career in television and film and was best known for playing Kaye Morgan on "Baywatch" (1991–2000), appearing in multiple episodes throughout the 1990s.

The hit series, starring her ex-husband David, Pamela Anderson, and Yasmine Bleeth, became a global sensation.

Beyond "Baywatch," Pamela had roles in several well-known TV shows, including "The Fall Guy" (1986), "T.J. Hooker" (1985), "The Young and the Restless" (1973), "Sirens" (1994–2005), and "Knight Rider" (1985). She also appeared in films such as "Castle Rock" (2000), "More Than Puppy Love" (2002), and "Mansion of Blood" (2015).

Pamela and David married in 1989 and divorced in 2006, with legal battles over spousal support lasting until 2017. She is survived by their daughters, Taylor and Hayley Hasselhoff, and her granddaughter, London Hasselhoff Fiore.

Family was central to Pamela's life, and in the months leading up to her passing, she shared heartfelt moments with her loved ones. Shortly before her death, she left a heart-eyed emoji on Hayley's Instagram post, which featured her in a black outfit.

Weeks earlier, in February, Pamela shared a touching Instagram tribute for her granddaughter. She wrote, "Happy 6 month Birthday to my precious, sweetest and beautiful Granddaughter - 🩷London 🎀who has my whole heart ♥️ and lights up our life with her magic- Gigi Loves you so so much❤️ You've brought so much joy into our lives. I'm also so very proud of you @tay and @madison_fiore – You're wonderful first-time parents!! ❤️"

A month earlier, as she welcomed the new year, Pamela reflected on her gratitude for family, especially her granddaughter, "Watching her grow and seeing her smile light up my world is truly the greatest blessing."

She continued, "My wish for all of you this year is health, happiness, and an abundance of love. 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!"

Her final posts captured her deep love for her family, making her sudden passing even more heartbreaking for those who knew and loved her. Before Pamela's passing, her family had celebrated London's birth in August 2024, a milestone her ex-husband cherished.

David was overflowing with pride and excitement following the arrival of his newborn granddaughter. His daughter, Taylor, had welcomed London, and the actor couldn't have been happier. He shared his joy with fans on Instagram, posting an adorable photo of himself cradling his granddaughter.

Dressed in a casual black T-shirt, David gazed lovingly at the tiny infant swaddled in a delicate pink shawl. His heartfelt caption perfectly captured his joy. It read, "A crying Grandad. She's perfect WOW ❤️ I am so blessed."

The veteran actor continued to share the family’s happiness with an Instagram story featuring a touching hospital visit. The photo showed David with Taylor and the baby. He accompanied with the caption, "Love you Tay, and love London forever,” punctuated with a red heart emoji.

Taylor, stepping into her new role as a mother, also gave fans a glimpse into her first days with baby London. Her Instagram feed featured an array of precious moments.

It included a peaceful shot of baby London, dressed warmly and tucked in a cozy pink blanket. Another snapshot showed Taylor, glowing with pride in a green hospital gown, gently cradling her newborn.

Adding to the family's social media updates, Taylor shared a charming photo of the little girl's name, "London Hasselhoff Fiore," engraved on a piece of wood beside the sleeping infant.

The photos continued to showcase the tender bonding moments between mother and baby.

Hayley also joined in the celebration, posting a selfie with a playful touch—she wore a pink outfit to meet her niece. "Yesterday on my way to meet my niece Baby London," she wrote, sharing in the excitement of welcoming the newest member of the family.

Adding to the celebration, Talyn Fiore, Taylor's sister-in-law, shared her excitement with several photos that highlighted the family’s bonding moments.

A standout image captured Taylor's husband, deeply immersed in his new role as a father, holding baby London with a look of admiration. Talyn's caption, "Watching my brother become a dad," beautifully encapsulated the profound moment.

Though Pamela captured special moments with her family, especially her granddaughter, her legacy lives on through her loved ones.
