A week after the tragic death of the “Baywatch” star, one of her children has shared a heartfelt tribute, expressing her pain and the deep connection they will always share.
Hayley Amber Hasselhoff, the youngest daughter of David Hasselhoff and the late Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, has shared a heartfelt message following her mother’s passing.
In an emotional Instagram Story dated March 13, 2025, Hayley expressed her deep grief, reflecting on the impact of the loss and the cherished bond she shared with her mother.
Hayley opened up about her emotions, describing the pain she felt as she navigated life without her mother.
She wrote, “Mama, last night was one of the hardest. I don’t know if it’s because it’s been a week since your passing or the synchronization of the rain tonight, just like the night of. I pray that one day I can find comfort in the sound of rain again, as it’ll symbolize your spirit going to heaven, but for now, all I hear is my heart aching for you.”
She highlighted the special connection she and Pamela shared, calling her mother her “best friend, my heart, and my whole world.”
Hayley also described the difficulty of adjusting to mornings without their daily phone calls, stating that no matter where she was in the world, her mother was always there for her.
Despite her grief, Hayley expressed a commitment to staying strong and honoring her mother’s legacy. She mentioned the support of her older sister, Taylor, writing, “Taylor and I are staying strong, carrying the pride you instilled in us and protecting one another, knowing that the bond you taught us to cherish will always guide us.”
Her touching tribute concluded with a promise to make her mother proud, as she affirmed, “I love you, Mama. ‘I love you’ will never be enough because my whole heart is yours, and it always will be. I love you, my beautiful, beautiful mama, until the end of time.”
Alongside the message, Hayley shared a nostalgic throwback image of her mother holding her as a child. In the photo, Pamela is smiling warmly while a young Hayley, adorned with a yellow bow, beams with joy.
Hayley’s words reflect the profound loss she feels while also emphasizing the love and strength that will continue to guide her and her sister forward.
Besides Hayley, her sister Taylor Hasselhoff-Fiore shared her own tribute to their late mother. Nearly a week after Pamela’s passing, Taylor broke her silence with a loving and heartbreaking message, accompanied by nostalgic childhood photos that captured their close bond.
The images also included Taylor’s sister, Hayley Hasselhoff, as a child, along with moments of the whole family together, including Pamela’s ex-husband, David Hasselhoff. One picture showed the late actress smiling while posing with a trophy.
Below the photos, Taylor wrote a heartfelt message to her late mother. Expressing her grief, she wrote, “I’d do anything in the world to hug you again, my forever angel. You are my best friend, my whole heart, my everything.”
She continued, “I promise to make you proud & celebrate you every day. London will know all about how incredible you are & I promise I will protect Hayley forever… mama I love you so much, the pain is unbearable but I will be strong for you & hold onto your memory until we meet again my beautiful. [sic]”
London is Taylor’s daughter, whom she shares with her husband, Madison Fiore. This wasn’t the first time Taylor had shared these images on her social media.
For the 2024 Mother’s Day celebrations, she uploaded the same pictures to Instagram, accompanied by Timothée Chalamet’s rendition of “Pure Imagination” from 2023’s “Wonka.”
In the post’s caption, she honored Pamela, writing, “To my best friend & my whole heart, Happy Mother’s Day! I love you so much 🌸 I can’t wait to watch you become a grandma & the most glamorous one:).”
Taylor’s heartbreaking tribute to her mother came about a week after Pamela passed away on March 5. At the time, reports revealed that the actress had died by suicide.
On that fateful night, a call reporting an unconscious woman was made shortly after 10 p.m., prompting paramedics to respond. Unfortunately, the actress was pronounced dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
According to reports, Pamela did not leave a note, and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) arrived at the scene shortly after the call. Taylor and Hayley’s father expressed his grief in a loving statement.
He said, “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.”
David and the late actress were married from 1989 to 2006. Their divorce was contentious, with disputes over monthly spousal support continuing until 2017. Pamela, who was 62, was also honored with a tribute from her representative, Sharon Kelly.
In her statement, Sharon expressed, “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 continued, “My heart goes out to her family, her beautiful daughter, and granddaughter whom Pamela constantly gushes about and loves so dearly.

The representative also recalled how her late client often spoke about how proud she was of her daughters and the adults they had become. Sharon described Pamela as a “Proud Mama!”
