American actress Pamela Bach, who has been a part of Television shows like Baywatch, Knight Rider, The Fall Guy, and more, passed away at 62.
She was found dead at her home in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday. The Los Angeles medical examiner’s office determined her death was a suicide. As per media reports, there was a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the head, but there was no suicide note.
Emergency services were alerted around 10 pm after family members grew concerned due to her absence over several days. Her home, valued at approximately $2 million, is located near Universal Studios.
Her ex-husband David Hasselhoff, 72, expressed the family’s deep sorrow in a statement to TMZ, requesting privacy as they grieve and navigate this difficult period.
Bach and Hasselhoff were married from 1989 until their contentious divorce in 2006, with financial disputes regarding spousal support continuing into 2017. They had two daughters together, Hayley, 32, and Taylor, 34, and a granddaughter named London.
Following news of her mother’s death, daughter Hayley shared a photo of Bach on Instagram. Bach remained active on social media until December 31, 2024, when she posted an optimistic message reflecting on gratitude and family, especially highlighting her granddaughter.
Bach began her acting career in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 film ‘Rumble Fish.’ She subsequently gained wider recognition on television, notably portraying café owner Kaye Morgan in ‘Baywatch.’ Her acting credits include appearances on series such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Sirens.’ In 2011, Bach-Hasselhoff appeared on the reality show ‘Celebrity Big Brother.’ She had since stepped away from acting in recent years.
