However, first responders arrived at Pamela's home after they received a report of an unconscious female around 10 pm. The actress was pronounced dead at the scene after she was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to the outlet. Authorities revealed that she did not leave a note.
Pamela's ex-husband, David, told the outlet, “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.”
The actress first met the 71-year-old on the set of Knight Rider when she was a guest star. However, they had a controversial divorce battle, with a spousal support battle continuing into 2017. Pamela is now survived by her two daughters, Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32, whom she welcomed with David.

As we step into 2025, my heart is full of gratitude, especially for my precious grandbaby, 🩷London,” she captioned the post, which was shared on New Year's Eve.
