David Hasselhoff was rushed to an L.A. hospital after suffering alcohol poisoning Saturday, RadarOnline.com reports.

The former Baywatch star was taken to Cedars-Sinai medical center after his daughter Hayley, 16, found him unconscious on the floor of his home in Encino, California.

According to RadarOnline.com, his estranged ex-wife -- actress Pamela Bach, who lives 10 minutes away in Hollywood -- drove him to the hospital after her daughter called.

He was registered with a .39 alcohol level. Hasselhoff, 56, has had a history of alcohol problems, which included a home video in 2007 in which he was drunk and lying on the floor, eating a hamburger, while his daughter Taylor, 18, begged him to stop.

Although a source told RadarOnline.com that the America's Got Talent judge was "barely breathing when they got him to the hospital," he is reportedly recovering.

"This is about the seventh time hes been taken to a hospital over the last few years with alcohol poisoning," the source said.

According to TMZ, Hasselhoff's rep, Judy Katz, said the star was "fine and well and happy and is celebrating his father Joe Hasselhoff's 80th birthday tonight at dinner ... along with his girlfriend, Kimberly."

    I never like him so I don't give a damn. He is a flake who can't figure out something more constructive to do with his time.
