Hayley Hasselhoff has broken her silence after her mother, Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, died at age 62.
“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, the youngest daughter of David Hasselhoff and ex-wife Bach-Hasselhoff, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Thursday, March 13. “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 continued, “My heart is shattered, yet somehow feels whole knowing you will always be my best friend, my heart and my whole world.”
News broke earlier this month that Bach-Hasselhoff died by suicide. She is survived by daughters Hayley, 32, and Taylor, 34. (Bach-Hasselhoff was married to the actor, now 72, for 17 years before their 2006 divorce.)

“You were my biggest support, as I was yours,” Hayley recalled on Thursday. “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. You were always there.”
According to Hayley, it has been difficult to manage her grief.
“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 in her upload. “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.”
Hayley concluded, “I love you, Mama. ‘I love you’ will never be enough because my whole heart is yours, and it always will be. I love you my beautiful, beautiful mama until the end of time.”
Hayley’s older sister shared a similar sentiment several hours earlier.

“I’d do anything in the world to hug you again, my forever angel,” Taylor wrote via Instagram Stories on Wednesday, March 12. “You are my best friend, my whole heart, my everything. I promise to make you proud & celebrate you every day. [My daughter] London will know how incredible you are & I promise I will protect Hayley forever.”
Taylor, who shares her daughter with husband Madison Fiore, has since reportedly filed court documents to manage Bach-Hasselhoff’s estate. According to court documents obtained by multiple outlets, her mother died without a will.
