Bach's family members included her daughters and her sisters, Penny and Cathy.
Hasselhoff and Bach were married from 1989 to 2006. While the pair were together for years and starred on various productions together, their divorce was contentious, with spousal support hearings and discussions concluding in 2017.

"We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult period but kindly request privacy as we grieve and navigate through this challenging time."
