Pamela Bach’s cause of death has been officially confirmed three weeks after she died aged 61.<\/a><\/p>\n

Bach, who was married to David Hasselhoff<\/a> for 17 years, was best known for her roles in Baywatch and Knight Rider and for being a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother<\/a> in the UK.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles County death certificate<\/a>, seen by TMZ<\/a>,\u00a0reveals she died by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on March 5.<\/p>\n

Bach was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, who had been called to her home in LA. She has since been cremated.<\/p>\n

After her death, Hasselhoff, 72, who shares two daughters, Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32, with Bach said he was ‘deeply saddened’ over the loss in a statement shared with TMZ.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u2018We 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.\u2019<\/p>\n

Their daughter Taylor shared an Instagram tribute the following week and said she would ‘do anything in the world’ to hug her late mother again.<\/p>\n

She added: ‘My forever angel, you are my best friend, my whole heart, my everything. I promise to make you proud and celebrate you every day.’<\/p>\n

In her Instagram tribute, Hayley said her heart had been ‘shattered’ but ‘somehow feels whole’ in the knowledge her late mother will always be her ‘friend, heart and whole world.’<\/p>\n

She added: ‘This yearning is unlike anything I\u2019ve ever known, but I need you to know that I will love you in every form. I\u2019m choosing to be strong for you to make you proud.’<\/p>\n
