Jackie Collins, who was famed for novels such as Hollywood Wives and The Stud, has died in Los Angeles of breast cancer. She was 77.

“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,” her family said in a statement said.

“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 four decades.”
