Pamela Bach, Baywatch actor and David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife, dies

Pamela Bach, an actor and the ex-wife of the Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, has died.

The Los Angeles medical examiner’s office reports that she died on Wednesday and the cause is still under investigation. Also known as Pamela Hasselhoff, Bach appeared on The Young and the Restless and met her future husband on the set of his series Knight Rider.

She also appeared on Baywatch.

Bach was a contestant on 2011’s season of Celebrity Big Brother in the UK alongside Tara Reid and Kerry Katona.

“Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff,” a statement from David Hasselhoff read. “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 and Hasselhoff were married in December 1989 and had two daughters, Taylor and Hayley. Hasselhoff filed for divorce in January 2006, and the former couple had a contentious split, with Bach accusing him of domestic abuse. A video of Hasselhoff drunkenly eating a burger led to him temporarily losing visitation privileges with his daughters, but they were restored after two weeks. The actor acknowledged the video, shot by one of his daughters, showed him during an alcohol relapse but he denied abuse allegations at the time.

“I’ve always loved him and always will, and have love and compassion for him,” she told the Associated Press at the time of their divorce. “It’s a very, very sad day, but a day to move on.”

In 2018, David Hasselhoff married the model Hayley Roberts.
