Hayley Hasselhoff bid a heartbreaking farewell to her mother, actress Pamela Bach, on Thursday, following her tragic passing earlier this month. In an emotional Instagram post, the 32-year-old daughter of Baywatch icon David Hasselhoff poured out her grief, writing, 'My heart is shattered, yet somehow feels whole knowing you will always be my best friend, my heart, and my whole world.' Fans were stunned by the news of Bach’s passing on March 5, when it was revealed the 61-year-old actress had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The tragedy unfolded at her Hollywood Hills home, where a neighbor reportedly saw Hayley 'screaming and crying' upon discovering her mother’s body. In her tribute, Hayley reflected on cherished memories with her mother. 'Mornings are the hardest because I would run to my phone to dial you the second I’d wake up, no matter the time [or] no matter where I was in the world,' she added in her heartbreaking post. 'You were always there.' She continued: 'Mom, last night was one of the hardest. I don’t know if it’s because it’s been a week since your passing or the synchronization of the rain tonight, just like the night of,' Hayley continued. 'I pray that one day I can find comfort in the sound of rain again as it’ll symbolize your spirit going to heaven. For now, all I hear is my heart aching for you.' She added: 'You were my biggest support, as I was yours,” Hayley recalled on Thursday. Hayley admitted that coping with her grief has been an immense challenge. 'This yearning for you is unlike anything I’ve ever known, but I need you to know that I will love you in every form,' she wrote. 'I’m choosing to be strong for you to make you proud. Taylor and I are staying strong, carrying the pride you instilled in us and protecting one another, knowing that the bond you taught us to cherish will always guide us. This unbreakable bond will stay with us forever.' Pamela was found dead at her $2million Hollywood Hills home of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Wednesday night. Neighbor Hiromi Osiecki, 65, said she saw paramedics arrive around 9pm and heard a young woman going in and out the house 'screaming and crying'. 'She was hysterical, yelling, screaming, crying on the street. She was crying, saying 'I just want to get my car',' Osiecki told DailyMail.com. 'A little later, she came out with police. I heard her crying and somebody was trying to comfort her. 'Police tried to bring her in the house and close the door, but the door got opened. She was in and out a few times. '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 Hasselhoff, 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. The neighbors said during the period the daughter lived with Pamela, about 10 years ago, paramedics and police would frequently be called to the home, though they did not know why. Hiromi said she last saw Pamela on Monday from her backyard, taking out the trash. '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 trespassing. 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 assistant. 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-Hasselhoff 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. They shared two daughters, 32-year-old Hayley and 34-year-old Taylor. Bach-Hasselhoff is also survived by a granddaughter named London. A representative for Hasselhoff told DailyMail.com, 'Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff. '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.' TMZ was the first to report her death. Bach-Hasselhoff's daughter Hayley shared an image of Bach-Hasselhoff on her Instagram following her death. Bach-Hasselhoff's body was discovered after her family became concerned when they had not heard from her for days. 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-Hasselhoff 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 gratitude, 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, Hasselhoff 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 Hasselhoff would pay her $5,000 every month. Hasselhoff 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-Hasselhoff over $2.5 million since their divorce was finalized. A video of Hasselhoff 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, shot by one of his daughters, showed him during an alcohol relapse but he denied abuse allegations. In 2018, David Hasselhoff married model Hayley Roberts.
