Taylor Hasselhoff-Fiore, the daughter of TV legend David Hasselhoff, said goodbye to her mother Pamela Bach on Tuesday following the actress’ tragic suicide earlier this month.
In an Instagram post shared one week after Bach’s death, the oldest daughter of Hasselhoff and Bach said goodbye to her mother with a heartbreaking slideshow of throwback photos.
Taylor, 34, wrote that she would ‘do anything in the world to hug’ her late mother again.
Fans of Bach — who had appeared on Baywatch with her ex-husband David — were shocked to learn that she had died on March 5 as the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A neighbor reported seeing Taylor’s sister Hayley ‘screaming and crying’ after she discovered her mother’s body at her home in the Hollywood Hills.
Taylor focused on happier times with her mother when she was just a child, before her 2006 divorce from the Knight Rider star.

‘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,’ he said.
Bach-Hasselhoff, who worked as an actress, was found dead at her $2 million Hollywood Hills home of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the evening of March 5.
Authorities said there was no suicide note left at her home, which is a stone’s throw from Universal Studios.
An autopsy was conducted later that week, according to the medical examiner’s office.
