David Hasselhoff’s eldest daughter, Taylor Hasselhoff-Fiore, spoke out about her mother Pamela Bach Hasselhoff’s tragic death by suicide.
“I’d do anything in the world to hug you again, my forever angel,” the 34-year-old wrote on her Instagram Story on Wednesday night.
“You are my best friend, my whole heart, my everything,” she continued. “I promise to make you proud & celebrate you every day.”
Taylor vowed to carry on her mom’s legacy by reminding her 7-month-old daughter, London, how “incredible” her grandmother was.
She also promised to “protect” her younger sister, Hayley Hasselhoff, “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,” she concluded.
Taylor shared the heartbreaking message alongside a montage of moments from her mother’s life, including pictures from childhood to adulthood.
The photos showed the smiling mother-daughter trio celebrating birthdays, playing on a beach and going on other fun adventures.
The tribute was set to “Pure Imagination” from the 2023 “Wonka” remake.
Pamela was found dead in her Los Angeles home shortly after 10 p.m. on March 5. She was 62.
One of the “Baywatch” actress’ neighbors later claimed that Hayley had discovered her mom’s body.
Hiromi Osiecki, who lived across the street from Pamela, told the Daily Mail she saw the “hysterical” 32-year-old going in and out of the house “screaming and crying.”
Osiecki also noted that Pamela seemed “sad” in the days leading up to her death — a change from her typically “chatty” demeanor.
While Hayley has yet to address the tragedy, her famous father released a statement the same day the news broke.
“Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff,” David, who was married to Pamela from 1989 to 2006, wrote.
“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 did not leave a suicide note. However, her former nanny claimed she had been dealing with health and financial woes.
“The last time I saw her, she was walking with a cane. She wasn’t the Pamela I knew,” Andrea Canning told People over the weekend.
Canning said Pamela was “having difficulty getting around” due to a 2003 motorcycle accident, which left her in the hospital with a broken neck and back.
The “Dateline” star said that Bach’s “money issues” were also a point of “concern.”
“There were times where she’s like, ‘I’m going to be homeless. I’ve got to get out of this house,’ which never happened. She would say it was going to happen, and then it didn’t,” Canning said, noting that she has no idea how Pamela “kept her bills paid.”
However, Canning said Pamela still “had a really positive outlook on life” despite her struggles.
