Taylor Hasselhoff Steps Up as Executor for Late Mother’s Estate: A Daughter’s Tribute to Her Legacy

David Hasselhoff and Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff’s eldest daughter, Taylor Ann Hasselhoff-Fiore, has submitted a petition to manage her late mother Pamela’s inheritance, as indicated by legal documents acquired by PEOPLE.

Taylor, 34, along with her younger sibling Hayley, 32, are the two offspring of David and Pamela — who were wed from 1989 until 2006. Pamela was discovered deceased in her residence in Los Angeles on Wednesday, March 5. The Los Angeles Medical Examiner determined her passing was a suicide. She was 62 years old.

On Thursday, March 13, Taylor lodged legal paperwork to become the executor of her mother’s estate, mentioning that Pamela passed away intestate. Taylor estimates the estate’s worth at $840,000.

Prior to her filing on Thursday, Taylor honored her mother through her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, March 12. She shared a video compilation of nostalgic pictures from her youth with her mother that she had initially posted on Mother’s Day the previous year. “My best friend, my entire heart, my everything ♥️,” she expressed.

“I’d go to any length to embrace you again, my eternal angel,” she continued. “I vow to make you proud & celebrate you daily.”

Taylor added that her daughter, London, will “know all about how remarkable you are.” Taylor and her spouse Madison Fiore welcomed their daughter, London, in August 2024. She also assured to “safeguard Hayley forever.”

“Mama, I cherish you immensely; the anguish is intolerable, but I will be strong for you & hold onto your memory until we reunite,” she concluded.

After Pamela’s passing, Hayley shared a picture of her parents from 1996 on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, March 5, with a simple emoji caption, “🤍 .”

Pamela was a “proud mother” and a “force of nature,” her agent Sharon Kelly relayed to PEOPLE in a statement following her death. “Pamela frequently spoke of how incredibly proud she was of both her daughters and what they have become.”

She continued, “My heart goes out to her family, her lovely daughters, and granddaughter.”

In light of the news regarding Pamela’s demise, David, 72, stated in a message shared with PEOPLE that the family was “deeply heartbroken.”

“We are thankful for the flood of love and support during this challenging period, but we kindly ask for privacy as we mourn and navigate through this difficult time.”

Representatives for Taylor Ann Hasselhoff-Fiore and David Hasselhoff did not promptly reply to PEOPLE’s inquiry for additional details on Thursday.
