Pamela Bach wants you to hassle The Hoff.

In light of David Hasselhoff's most recent trip to the hospital, the Baywatch star's ex-wife has issued a public statement urging him to seek help for the sake of their daughters, Taylor, 19, and Hayley, 17.

"The despair—feeling hopeless and unable to believe that things can ever change with David's alcoholism over the years—has affected our whole family," she says. "We want our lives to be different, but nothing we have done has brought about change."

Despite her own DUI history, Bach also makes a sober plea to all the people around the 57-year-old.

"We ask David's fans, supporters and handlers to take swift action to save this wonderful man's life," she says. "I have always been close to my daughters to comfort and support them as well as always being there for David. We will be forever hurt from this cruel disease. I am grateful for our two daughters, who have been incredibly brave, strong and protective souls."

It was Hayley who made the chilling call to 911 just after Thanksgiving when her father was "standing up but he keeps falling back down."

The Hoff has yet to say exactly what triggered his trip to the Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center over the holiday weekend. However, he did tell E! News earlier this week that he was "doing really well."
