Pamela’s representative, Sharon Kelly, also expressed her heartbreak, “I am in shock and still processing the loss of my dear client Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff. Pamela was a ‘Force of Nature’ … She will be missed.” She also highlighted Pamela’s deep love for her family, particularly her daughters and granddaughter, adding, “She was a ‘Proud Mama’!”
Pamela and David were married from 1989 to 2006, with their divorce leading to prolonged legal battles over spousal support until 2017. She is survived by their daughters, Taylor and Hayley Hasselhoff, as well as a granddaughter.
