She was pronounced deceased at the scene, according to TMZ, and no note was found.
“Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff,” said her ex-husband in a statement made to the publication.
“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-Hasselhoff’s final Instagram explained how much she was looking forward to this year as she wrote, “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 heart can hold.”
She conclued, “Here’s to a year of making cherished memories, spreading joy, and embracing every precious moment!”

Bach-Hasselhoff and the 72-year-old singer were married from 1989 to 2006 when she filed for divorce due to irreconcilable differences.
Disagreements arose among the pair, and the two argued frequently over spousal support until 2017. They shared two daughters and were given custody of each after their separation was finalized.
But it’s clear that their divorce didn’t mean the love was completely lost.
Later, the actress told the Associated Press, “I’ve always loved him and always will, and have love and compassion for him,” before adding, “It’s a very, very sad day, but a day to move on.”
In 2024, she became a first-time grandmother when her daughter Taylor welcomed her first child, London, even going on Instagram during the holiday season to show a little extra love for her “precious granddaughter.”
“Our first Christmas with [London] was absolutely magical,” she wrote. “The day was filled with love, joy, and precious moments with family. We cherish these wonderful memories we made.”

Her later roles included café owner Kaye Morgan for 10 years on Baywatch, while additionally appearing in The Young and the Restless, The Fall Guy, T.J. Hooker, and Knight Rider.
As reported by Soap Opera Digest, the 61-year-old was born in Tusla, Oklahoma, and began modeling as a teenager as she followed in her mother’s professional footsteps.
She soon moved to Los Angeles after graduating from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, where she studied engineering and theatre arts.

“Bach-Hasselhoff made her debut in Hollywood with the 1983 crime/drama film Rumble Fish, playing Francis Ford Coppola.” She did not! 🤪🤪🤪 He directed it. I’d thought Barbara Bach died until I saw the photos. I’m sorry she felt the need to do herself in. 😕 But I guess if people mistake you for Coppola, it makes it hard to get work. (Too soon? I deal with grief using humor.)
