Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff is remembered as a proud mother to her two daughters following her death.
The actress was found dead in her Los Angeles home on Wednesday, March 5. She was 62.
The cause of death was ruled a suicide from a gunshot wound to the head, according to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner. Her family reportedly had not heard from her and went to check on her, per TMZ, which was the first to report the news.
Pamela was a “force of nature” who will be “truly missed,” her agent, Sharon Kelly, told PEOPLE in a statement.

“Pamela often talked about how very proud she was of both her daughters and what they have blossomed into,” Kelly said of Pamela’s daughters, Hayley and Taylor.
The late actress shares daughters Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32, with her ex-husband, David Hasselhoff. The former couple were married from 1989 to 2006.
“Pamela was a proud mama,” Kelly wrote of her client. “My heart goes out to her family, her beautiful daughters and granddaughter.”
Taylor and her husband Madison Fiore welcomed their first baby, a girl named London, in August 2024. Kelly told PEOPLE, “Pamela constantly gushes about [her granddaughter] and loves so dearly.”
