Pamela Bach’s neighbour has described the heartbreaking moment the Baywatch actor’s daughter was heard ‘screaming and crying’ after her mother was found dead.
The Celebrity Big Brother star was reportedly found dead aged 62 in her Los Angeles home after her family called law enforcement to ‘check on her out of concern’ according to TMZ.
Though an official cause of death has not been shared, it is reported she died by suicide.
A neighbour has since shared details of the moments following the discovery of Bach in the home, claiming they heard her daughter Hayley Bach-Hasselhoff – who Bach shared with ex-husband David Hasselhoff – ‘screaming and crying.’
‘She was hysterical, yelling, screaming, crying on the street. She was crying, saying “I just want to get my car”,’ Hiromi Osieck told The Mirror.
‘A little later, she came out with police. I heard her crying and somebody was trying to comfort her.’
She added: ‘We couldn’t see what was going on in the house, but when she came out she was crying like crazy.’
Her husband John described Bach as ‘chatty’ and someone who would ‘talk to a lot of people when she walked her dogs.’
‘She didn’t seem like the type of person who would want to kill herself,’ he added.
Hasselhoff, 72, who was married to Bach from 1989 to 2006, said he was ‘deeply saddened’ by her death in a touching tribute.
‘Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff,’ he told the publication in a statement.
‘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.’
Hayley, 32, shared a picture of her mother and father on Instagram with a love heart.
Bach is best known for roles in Sirens, Baywatch, and Viper. She met Hasselhoff in 1985 when the pair starred together in Knight Rider, tying the knot in December 1989.
They welcomed their first child, Taylor, in 1990, followed by Hayley in 1992.
Bach and Hasselhoff split in 2006, with the latter going on to marry Hayley Roberts in 2018.
