David Hasselhoff reportedly did not attend the funeral for his ex-wife Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff.
The Baywatch alum, 72, was not present at the Saturday, March 29, funeral for Bach-Hasselhoff, according to a TMZ report published two days later. The service was held at the Bel Air Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles.
The outlet noted that about 150 people attended the funeral, where Hasselhoff and his ex-wife’s two daughters spoke. The former couple, who were married from 1989 to 2006, shared Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32.
Bach-Hasselhoff was found dead inside her Los Angeles home on March 5. She was 62. Last week, TMZ reported that a Los Angeles County death certificate listed her cause of death as suicide. According to the certificate, she has since been cremated.
Hasselhoff reacted to the news of his ex-wife’s death in a statement on March 6. “Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff,” he said at the time. “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 former couple met on the set of Hasselhoff’s hit ’80s show Knight Rider when she was a guest star.

After their divorce was finalized in 2006, Bach-Hasselhoff told the Associated Press, “I’ve always loved him and always will, and have love and compassion for him. It’s a very, very sad day, but a day to move on.”
Days after her mother’s death, Taylor broke her silence by sharing a touching tribute via Instagram.
“I’d do anything in the world to hug you again, my forever angel,” she wrote. “You are my best friend, my whole heart, my everything. I promise to make you proud & celebrate you every day. [My daughter] London will know 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.”
Taylor’s sister, Hayley, also paid tribute to her mom on March 13. “Mom, 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,” Hayley wrote via her Instagram Story. “I pray that one day I can find comfort in the sound of rain again as it’ll symbolize your spirit going to heaven. For now, all I hear is my heart aching for you.”
On March 14, Taylor filed court documents to manage her mother’s estate, as Bach-Hasselhoff did not have a will in place before her death. She reportedly valued her mom’s estate at around $840,000, per TMZ and People.
