British-born bestselling writer Jackie Collins has died following a long battle with breast cancer.

The author, who was said to have kept her cancer a secret from all but her family and very close friends, died in Los Angeles in the early hours of the morning.

A statement released by her family said, “It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the death of our beautiful, dynamic and one of a kind mother, Jackie Collins, who died of breast cancer today.

“She lived a wonderfully full life and was adored by her family, friends and the millions of readers who she has been entertaining over four decades.

“She was a true inspiration, a trail blazer for women in fiction and a creative force. She will live on through her characters but we already miss her beyond words.”
