David Hasselhoff‘s daughter Hayley was allegedly “screaming and crying” outside the home where her mother, Pamela Bach, was found dead by suicide on Wednesday.

Her body was discovered Wednesday night at her $2 million house in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills neighborhood after her family became concerned for her.

TMZ was the first to report the news. 

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office ruled Bach’s cause of death to be a gunshot wound to the head.

The manner of death is listed as suicide. 

The Post exclusively confirmed that Bach’s autopsy was completed on Thursday, and her body is set to be released to the funeral home of her family’s choosing.

One of the “Young and the Restless” star’s neighbors told the Daily Mail that she saw Bach and Hasselhoff’s daughter, Hayley Hasselhoff, 32, going in and out of her mother’s home around 9 p.m. on Wednesday evening, the same time she said she witnessed paramedics arrive.

“She was hysterical, yelling, screaming, crying on the street,” Bach’s neighbor Hiromi Osiecki, 65, claimed.

“She was crying, saying ‘I just want to get my car.’” 

Osiecki, who lives across from Bach, added, “A little later, [Hayley] 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.”

Osiecki also said that she and her husband, John, recognized Hayley’s Mercedes-Benz in Bach’s driveway. 

“We couldn’t see what was going on in the house, but when she came out she was crying like crazy.”
