David Hᴀsselhoff’s daughter Taylor Hᴀsselhoff-Fiore has filed to manage her mother Pamela Bach’s estate after the actress’ tragic suicide last week.

However that approximate amount does not include any private trusts that may or may not exist separate from the probate case.

Taylor resolved to pᴀss down her memories of Pamela to her own daughter London, seven months, whom she shares with her husband Madison Fiore.

‘London will know all about how incredible you are & I promise I will protect Hayley forever,’ Taylor wrote in her message.

‘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.’

After news of Bach’s death broke, her ex-husband David Hᴀsselhoff issued a terse statement via a spokesperson to DailyMail.com: ‘Our family is deeply saddened by the recent pᴀssing of Pamela Hᴀsselhoff. 

‘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-Hᴀsselhoff, who worked as an actress, was found ᴅᴇᴀᴅ at her $2 million Hollywood Hills home of a self-inflicted gunsH๏τ 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.

TMZ first reported her death. 

Bach-Hᴀsselhoff’s daughter Hayley shared an image of Bach-Hᴀsselhoff on her Instagram following her death.

Officials reportedly found Bach Hᴀsselhoff’s remains after her family became concerned when they did not hear from her for days. 

Paramedics were called to her house on reports of an unconscious woman shortly after 10pm on March 5. 

She had left a comment on Hayley’s Instagram just hours before her body was found. 

Bach-Hᴀsselhoff’s debut movie role was Francis Ford Coppola’s Rumble Fish in 1983.

She met Hᴀsselhoff on the set of Knight Rider.

She did not return to acting in recent years; In 2011, she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. 

Bach-Hᴀsselhoff was regularly active on Instagram, where she shared images with her family, until December.

Her last post was on December 31 and said: ‘Happy New Year, everyone! As we step into 2025, my heart is full of graтιтude, especially for my precious grandbaby, London.

‘Watching her grow and seeing her smile light up my world is truly the greatest blessing. My wish for all of you this year is health, happiness, and an abundance of love. May 2025 be filled with beautiful moments, laughter, and all the blessings your hearts can hold. Here’s to a year of making cherished memories, spreading joy, and embracing every precious moment!’

After their 2006 divorce, Hᴀsselhoff complained several times about the alimony he continue to pay to his ex-wife until at least 2017.

In 2017, it was reported the couple agreed that Hᴀsselhoff would pay her $5,000 every month.  

Hᴀsselhoff had the alimony reduced from as much as $21,000 a month after he argued his income has been reduced.

The actor said at that point he had paid Bach-Hᴀsselhoff over $2.5 mil since their divorce in 2006.

A video of Hᴀsselhoff drunkenly eating a burger led to him temporarily losing visitation privileges with his daughters, but they were restored after two weeks. 

The actor acknowledged the video, sH๏τ by one of his daughters, showed him during an alcohol relapse but he denied abuse allegations at the time. 

In 2018, David Hᴀsselhoff married model Hayley Roberts.
