“Baywatch” alum Nicole Eggert is speaking out following the death of her co-star Michael Newman, who died on Sunday at the age of 68.

“Michael ‘Newmie’ Newman was an inspiration to everyone. From his knowledge, skill and willingness to share to his long battle with Parkinson’s disease, he was a beacon of strength,” Eggert, 52, told The Post in a statement on Tuesday.

“The beaches will never be the same and my heart goes out to his family at this time of tremendous loss,” she continued. “May he rest easy and continue to catch waves forever.”

Newman died after an 18-year battle with Parkinson’s disease. His close friend Matthew Felker, who recently directed the Hulu docuseries about “Baywatch,” announced his death.

Newman – who was a lifeguard in real life – died on Sunday evening “of heart complications” “surrounded by his family and friends.”

“I saw Mike the last time he was conscious and he looked at me and said in typical Mike fashion, ‘You’re just in time,'” Felker told People magazine.

Newman was 50 when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2006.

“This terminal illness has given me a lot of time to think, which I may not have wanted, but it has brought me wisdom,” Newman told People in August. “My body has changed so slowly that I hardly notice it, yet I am constantly reminded that Parkinson’s has now become the center of my life.

“I cherish the days I get to be on this earth with family and friends,” he continued. “I take life seriously.”

He said the words he lives by are: “It’s not a walk-through.”

Eggert has dealt with her own health issues. In January, she revealed that she was diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer last December.

The actress recalls gaining 25 pounds in three months and having “terrible pain” in her left breast in October, but she assumed these were just early signs of menopause.

‘This journey has been hard for me. This has not been a lighthearted sale in my entire life,” she told People at the time. “I always read inspiring quotes and corny things, but I get through it.”

“Baywatch” ran for 11 seasons and also starred Pamela Anderson, David Hasselhoff, Carmen Electra, Alexandra Paul, Jeremy Jackson, Brandy Ledford and David Chokachi. The stars – minus Anderson – appeared in the recent doc “After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun,” now streaming on Hulu.

Newman appeared in 150 episodes and returned to firefighting after the show ended in 2001.

He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Sarah, their children Chris and Emily, and their 1-year-old granddaughter, Charlie.
