Charlotte Brosnan has died from ovarian cancer last Friday. The mother-of-two fought the disease, which also killed her mother in 1991, for three years.

Pierce Brosnan said that her daughter passed away surrounded by her family.

“On June 28 my darling daughter Charlotte Emily passed on to eternal life, having succumbed to ovarian cancer," he said.

“She was surrounded by her husband Alex, children Isabella and Lucas and brothers Christopher and Sean."

“Charlotte fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl."

“We pray for her and that the cure for this wretched disease will be close at hand soon. We thank everyone for their heartfelt condolences.”

Reports say that Pierce Brosnan has flown back to the UK to be at his daughter’s bedside.

 

Charlotte was Pierce’s daughter from his first wife, Cassandra who he married in 1980. Pierce adopted Charlotte and her brother in 1986 after their father’s death.

Brosnan has two children with his second wife Keely Shaye Smith: Dylan, 16 and Paris, 12.
