David Hasselhoff’s daughter, Taylor Hasselhoff-Fiore, paid tribute to her late mother, Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, following her tragic death.
On Wednesday, March 12, the 34-year-old took to her Instagram Story to honor the Baywatch alum, who passed away at 62 on Wednesday, March 5. Taylor reposted a video featuring photos of her and Pamela that she originally posted for Mother’s Day in 2024.
The video showcased a variety of throwback photos of her and her younger sister, Hayley Hasselhoff, from their childhood with the Sirens alum. Taylor also included a family snap with both her parents. The video was set to the song “Pure Imagination” sung by Timothée Chalamet in the film Wonka.

Taylor detailed her love for her mother in the post.
“I’d do anything in the world to hug you again, my forever angel. You are my best friend, my whole heart, my everything,” she penned in white text on the video. “I promise to make you proud & celebrate you every day. I promise to make you proud & celebrate you every day.”
She added that she would keep her mom’s legacy alive for her 7-month-old daughter, London — whom she shares with husband Madison Fiore.
“London will know all about how incredible you are & I promise I will protect Hayley forever,” she wrote.
