Pamela Bach Hasselhoff’s Tragic Passing and the Heartbreaking Aftermath
The entertainment world was shaken on Wednesday night when Pamela Bach Hasselhoff, the ex-wife of actor David Hasselhoff, was found dead in her Hollywood Hills home in California. The 62-year-old actress reportedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Her death has sent shockwaves through her family, friends, and fans, leaving many in disbelief and mourning.
According to neighbors, paramedics arrived at Pamela’s residence around 9 p.m., and a young woman, believed to be her daughter Hayley Hasselhoff, 32, was seen entering and exiting the house in a state of distress. Neighbor Hiromi Osiecki described Hayley as “hysterical,” screaming and crying on the street. Hayley, who was reportedly in the house with her mother just hours before the tragic discovery, was heard saying, “I just want to get my car.” Osiecki and her husband, John, recalled that Hayley had lived with Pamela in the house about a decade ago and recognized her Mercedes parked in the driveway that evening.
The neighbors also shared that during the time Pamela and Hayley lived together, paramedics and police frequently visited the home, though they did not know the reasons behind those visits. Hiromi Osiecki last saw Pamela on Monday night, when she appeared to be “sad” while taking out the trash. However, John Osiecki described Pamela’s death as “shocking,” noting that she was usually “chatty” and often talked to people while walking her dogs.
Pamela’s agent, Sharon Kelly, expressed her devastation over the loss, calling Pamela a “force of nature” and a “proud mama” who adored her daughters, Hayley and Taylor, and her granddaughter. Kelly shared that Pamela often spoke about how proud she was of her daughters and the women they had become. She also asked for the world to remember Pamela’s love for her family and to offer support to her grieving daughters and granddaughter.
David Hasselhoff, who was married to Pamela from 1989 to 2006, also addressed the tragedy on social media. He wrote, “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 period but kindly request privacy as we grieve and navigate through this challenging time.” His words reflect the family’s pain and their need for time to heal.
