Baywatch actress passes away aged 61
Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff has passed away at the age of 61.
The Baywatch actress and ex-wife of David Hasselhoff was found dead in her Los Angeles home on Wednesday, according to multiple media outlets in the US.
Law enforcement sources have told TMZ that her family members were concerned after not hearing from her and wanted to check up on her.
First responders were then called to her home after receiving a report of an unconscious female, and she was reportedly pronounced dead at the scene, according to Page Six.
She has reportedly died by suicide.
"Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff," a representative for David Hasselhoff said in a statement.
"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."
Bach was married to Hasselhoff for 17 years from 1989 to 2006, with the former couple sharing two children: daughters Taylor Ann Hasselhoff, 34, and Hayley Hasselhoff, 32.
She was also a grandmother to Taylor's daughter, born in August 2024.
Pamela was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1963 and moved to Los Angeles in 1985.
That same year, she met David on the set of Knight Rider, with the couple tying the knot four years later.
Six years later, she joined the cast of Baywatch, where she played reporter and businesswoman Kate 'Kaye' Morgan periodically in a few episodes across seasons two, three, five and six.
Pamela and David filed for divorce in January 2006, citing irreconcilable differences.
