"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," they said in an emotional statement to People magazine.
"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 novelist sister actress Joan Collins left the hospital very devastated. Moreover the family have asked for all donations in lieu of flowers be made out to the Penny Brohn Cancer Care charity in the UK and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Organisation in the United States.
Jackie has written five novels since her diagnosis, her first novel "The World is Full of Married Men" was published in 1968 and it was a success. Jackie has sold more than 500 million copies world wide, and 32 of her novels have been translated to 40 languages.
Jackie is survived by three daughters Tracy, 54, Tiffany, 48, and Rory, 46 as well as her sister Joan.
