The English novelist was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer more than six years ago but kept her illness almost entirely to herself. A spokesman for her family told People magazine: '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 for over 4 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.' The best-selling author, who is the sister of actress Joan Collins, 82, had spoken to her three daughters Tracy, 54, Tiffany, 48, and Rory, 46, about her illness. She gave an interview from her home in Beverly Hills five days ago, saying she had no regrets. Collins said she had lived life like Frank Sinatra, and 'done it my way'.
