‘We couldn’t see what was going on in the house, but when she came out she was crying like crazy.’

Hiromi and her husband John, who live across the street from Pamela, said they believed the woman was Hayley Hᴀsselhoff, the 32-year-old younger daughter of Pamela and David, who were married from 1989-2006.

The Osieckis said Hayley used to live in the house with Pamela, and they recognized her Mercedes in the driveway Wednesday night.

‘I felt she looked sad,’ Osiecki said.

John Osiecki, 70, said he and his wife kept their distance from Pamela, due to the ‘drama’ she caused in the neighborhood.

‘Our gardener said “don’t ever tell her my phone number, she wants to hire me, but I don’t want to work for her. She’s crazy. She smokes too much marijuana”,’ said Hiromi.

‘Then one time she saw my gardener was working in my yard, came into my yard and talked to him. It was trespᴀssing. I was really uncomfortable.’

She said both Pamela’s next-door neighbors got in arguments with her over things like trash cans and parking spaces, and added that Pamela ‘got a really huge pit bull-type dog’ which bit another neighbor’s smaller dog, leading to a fight about veterinary bills.

‘I noticed all day, all night, the dog would cry and bark. I don’t know if she was there or not,’ said Osiecki.

‘I wanted to stay away from her. She told my husband she wanted to hire me as an ᴀssistant. I was like, no way. It was such an odd thing to say to my husband. I didn’t want anything to do with her.’

‘It’s shocking,’ said John. ‘She was chatty. She would talk to a lot of people when she walked her dogs. She didn’t seem like the type of person who would want to kill herself.’

Authorities said there was no suicide note left at her home, which is a stone’s throw from Universal Studios.

An autopsy will be conducted later Thursday, according to the medical examiner’s office.  

Bach-Hᴀsselhoff had two daughtersbwith the Baywatch star, 72, during their 17-year marriage that ended when he filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. 

The split was contentious; she accused him of domestic abuse and they had public arguments about spousal support continuing until 2017.

TMZ was the first to report her death.

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

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

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 continued 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 had been reduced.

The actor said at that point he had paid Bach-Hᴀsselhoff over $2.5 million since their divorce was finalized.

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. 

In 2018, David Hᴀsselhoff married model Hayley Roberts.
