David Hasselhoff’s daughters have broken their silence on their mother Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff's death with a heartbreaking tribute.
Pamela's agent Sharon Kelly previously issued a statement to the press, describing Bach as a 'force of nature', who'll be 'truly missed' by those that knew her well.
Kelly added of her children, Hayley, 32, and Taylor, 34, - whom Bach shared with her ex-husband Hasselhoff: "Pamela often talked about how very proud she was of both her daughters and what they have blossomed into."

"Pamela was a proud mama," she continued. "My heart goes out to her family, her beautiful daughters and granddaughter."
Bach was 62 at the time of her death, with police later ruling the circumstances as a suicide.
After her family alerted authorities to the fact they hadn't seen or heard from her in several days, investigating officers attended the property and found her body.
Taylor took to Instagram on Thursday (13 March) to share a compilation of family photos of herself and Pamela set to the song 'Pure Imagination'.
She captioned the post: "I'd do anything in the world to hug you again, my forever angel. You are my best friend, my whole heart, my everything."
Taylor went on to make a promise to her beloved mum about her daughter, London - whom she welcomed last August with her husband, Madison Fiore - writing: "I promise to make you proud & celebrate you everyday.
"London will know all about how incredible you are & I promise I will protect Hayley forever..."
She rounded off the post: "Mama I love you so much, the pain is unbearable but I will be strong for you & hold onto your memory until we meet again my beautiful."
Hasselhoff, who was married to Bach between 1989 to 2006, has also since released an emotional tribute, honouring his ex-wife's life and legacy.
In a statement also released to PEOPLE last Thursday (6 March), his representative wrote: "Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff.
"We 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."
