Taylor Hasselhoff-Fiore, the daughter of David Hasselhoff and Pamela Bach, has filed to handle her late mother’s estate following her tragic suicide last week.
Bach was found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound at her Hollywood Hills home on March 5. She was 62.
On Thursday — 8 days after her mother’s death — Hasselhoff-Fiore filed legal documents to become the administrator of her mother’s estate, TMZ reports.
The estate, which was valued at $840,000, does not include any private trusts, the outlet added.
In her filing, the 34-year-old added that her mother died without a will.
Ahead of her bid to gain ownership of the estate, Hasselhoff-Fiore paid heartfelt tribute to her late mother on social media.
Sharing a slideshow of photos of her late mother on her Instagram Story, Hasselhoff-Fiore included snapshots of them with her sister, 32-year-old Hayley Hasselhoff, who is Hasselhoff and Bach’s other daughter.
“I’d do anything in the world to hug you again, my forever angel,” she wrote. “You are my best friend, my whole heart, my everything ♥️. I promise to make you proud & celebrate you every day.”
Hasselhoff-Fiore said her daughter, London, whom she welcomed in August with husband Madison Fiore, “will know all about how incredible” her mom was. She also promised to “protect Hayley forever.”
“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,” Hasselhoff-Fiore said to conclude her tribute.
The Post confirmed that Bach died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head last week. The Los Angeles Medical Examiner officially ruled her death a suicide following the completion of her autopsy.
Hasselhoff, for his part, reacted to his ex-wife’s death in a statement on Facebook the day after her death.
“Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff,” the actor, 72, wrote. “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.”
The exes met on the set of “Knight Rider” in 1985. The pair wed in 1989 and went on to welcome two daughters.
However, their romance crumbled in 2006, prompting the “Baywatch” star to file for divorce after 16 years of marriage.
While the pair finalized their divorce months later, they continued to argue over monthly spousal support payments until 2017.
Bach, also known as Pamela Bach Hasselhoff, was an actress who appeared on “The Young and the Restless,” “Knight Rider” and “Baywatch.”
Bach played cafe owner Kaye Morgan for a decade on Hasselhoff’s famous lifeguard series.
