David Hasselhoff's daughter, Hayley, reportedly discovered her mother, Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff's body after she shot herself on Wednesday. The 62-year-old Baywatch actress was found dead by suicide at her $2 million Hollywood Hills home on the night of March 5, 2025.

Their neighbours have since told DailyMail.com that a woman, who they believe was Pamela Bach's daughter, ran out “screaming and crying” upon finding her dead mother. “She was hysterical, yelling, screaming, crying on the street. She was crying, saying 'I just want to get my car,” said one of the neighbours, who saw paramedics arriving at 9 pm.

“A little later, she came out with police. I heard her crying and somebody was trying to comfort her. Police tried to bring her in the house and close the door, but the door got opened. She was in and out a few times,” detailed the neighbour. “We couldn't see what was going on in the house, but when she came out she was crying like crazy.”

32-year-old Hayley Hasselhoff is the younger daughter of Pamela Back and David Hasselhoff. The former couple was married for 17 years (1989-2006) before their divorce. They welcomed their first daughter, Taylor, in 1990. Hayley was born two years later.

The neighbours living across the street from the Baywatch star’s Hollywood Hills home also noted that the actress’ younger child used to live with her. They instantly recognised Hayley’s Mercedes in the driveway. Recalling about 10-year-old accounts, the sources said that while Bach’s daughter was living with her, paramedics and police would often be seen at their home for unspecified reasons.

Neighbours say Pamela Bach go into many neighbourhood arguments

The actress’ 70-year-old neighbour highlighted that she was often the cause of tension in the neighbourhood. “Our gardener said "don't ever tell her my phone number, she wants to hire me, but I don't want to work for her. She's crazy. She smokes too much marijuana,” said the man’s wife.

The Celebrity Big Brother alum is believed to have been at the centre of one too many arguments with her next-door neighbours. Moreover, her “really huge pit bull-type dog” reportedly bit another neighbour’s smaller dog, which further resulted in a fight over veterinary bills.

Pamela Bach's daughters have yet to formally speak out after their mom's death

The medical examiner’s office revealed that an autopsy will be conducted on Thursday. Hayley Amber Hasselhoff, an actress and model herself, reposted an image of her parents on her Instagram Stories following her mother’s death. She added a “🤍” over a picture of the two from the 1996 grand opening of the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios Hollywood. The pair was together at the time.

Meanwhile, Pamela Bach's ex-husband, David Hasselhoff, said in a statement to PEOPLE: “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.”
