EXCLUSIVE: Pamela Bach‘s daughters, Hayley Hasselhoff and Taylor-Ann Hasselhoff, are “heartbroken” over “false and unkind stories” about their mother, and are asking that the public honor their wishes for privacy and respect as they mourn her loss following her death last week. “In the wake of this tragedy, the family has been heartbroken to see that certain individuals have chosen to profit from their grief, spreading false and unkind stories about their mother,” read a statement provided to Deadline on behalf of the sisters by their publicist. “These actions only deepen their pain and complicate an already difficult time.

The family is requesting that such misinformation cease, and that respect be shown for the memory of their mother.” Bach, the ex-wife of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, was found dead in her home on Wednesday, March 5.

The Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office determined she died by suicide. TMZ reported that Bach was found by family members. “This is a time for reflection, not for exploitation, and they trust that people will understand the importance of allowing them the space to grieve in peace,” the statement read.
