David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff has reportedly died by suicide at the age of 62.
Bach-Hasselhoff, who worked as an actress, was found dead at her $2million Hollywood Hills home of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Wednesday night.
Authorities said there was no suicide note left at her home, which is a stone’s throw from Universal Studios.
Bach-Hasselhoff was married to the Baywatch star, 72, between 1989 and 2006, when she filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
The pair had a contentious divorce, with arguments about spousal support continuing until 2017.
They shared two daughters, 32-year-old Hayley and 34-year-old Taylor.
Bach-Hasselhoff is also survived by a granddaughter, named London.
Hasselhoff told TMZ, ‘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.’
TMZ was first to report her death.
Bach-Hasselhoff’s daughter Hayley shared an image of Bach-Hasselhoff on her Instagram following her death.
Officials reportedly found Bach Hasselhoff’s remains after her family became concerned when they did not hear from her for days.
Paramedics were called to her house on reports of an unconscious woman shortly after 10pm Wednesday.
She had left a comment on Hayley’s Instagram just hours before her body was found.
Bach-Hasselhoff’s debut movie role was Francis Ford Coppola‘s Rumble Fish in 1983.
She met Hasselhoff on the set of Knight Rider.
In 1989, she also snared a role in Baywatch, playing café owner Kaye Morgan.
Some of her other TV roles included jobs on The Young and the Restless, The Fall Guy and Sirens.
Her last post was on December 31 and said: ‘Happy New Year, everyone! As we step into 2025, my heart is full of gratitude, especially for my precious grandbaby, London’

She did not return to acting in recent years; In 2011, she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother.
Bach-Hasselhoff was regularly active on Instagram, where she shared images with her family, until December.
Her last post was on December 31 and said: ‘Happy New Year, everyone! 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. 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!’
After their 2006 divorce, Hasselhoff complained several times about the alimony he continue to pay to his ex-wife until at least 2017.
In 2017, it was reported the couple agreed that Hasselhoff would pay her $5,000 every month.
Hasselhoff had the alimony reduced from as much as $21,000 a month after he argued his income has been reduced.
The actor said at that point he had paid Bach-Hasselhoff over $2.5 mil since their divorce in 2006.
