David Hasselhoff, 72, expressed the family’s deep sorrow in a statement to TMZ, requesting privacy as they grieve and navigate this difficult period. Bach-Hasselhoff and Hasselhoff were married from 1989 until their contentious divorce in 2006, with financial disputes regarding spousal support continuing into 2017. They had two daughters together, Hayley, 32, and Taylor, 34, and a granddaughter named London.

Following news of her mother’s death, daughter Hayley shared a photo of Bach-Hasselhoff on Instagram. Bach-Hasselhoff remained active on social media until December 31, 2024, when she posted an optimistic message reflecting on gratitude and family, especially highlighting her granddaughter.

Bach-Hasselhoff began her acting career in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 film ‘Rumble Fish.’ She subsequently gained wider recognition on television, notably portraying café owner Kaye Morgan in ‘Baywatch.’ Her acting credits include appearances on series such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Sirens.’ In 2011, Bach-Hasselhoff appeared on the reality show ‘Celebrity Big Brother.’ She had since stepped away from acting in recent years.

Hasselhoff had previously discussed publicly the challenges related to ongoing alimony payments, which had initially been $21,000 monthly but were reduced to $5,000 by 2017.
