I was sorry to hear that Jackie Collins has died. I enjoyed her books. She never pretended they were great literature but they were enjoyable in their own genre. Apparently she didn't even tell her own sister she was ill. RIP.

She was a feisty woman, I don't know where she found the strength to fly to London for Loose Women just days before she died!
RIP.

She was on the One Show too and I would never have guessed she was so ill.

I never read her books but I like both Joan and Jackie Collins.

I always thought they had a zest for life and looked like they made the most of what came their way.

To have had breast cancer for 6 years and keep that knowledge to close friends and family takes some doing and I am sure her sister will miss her very much.

I never read her books but always thought she was the nicer of the two sisters... she was a very strong person to keep that to herself for so long.. she'll be missed I'm sure.

How nice that the sisters were close when there is so much bitchiness and back-biting in the celebrity world especially between siblings.

RIP Jackie.

Her books weren`t my sort of read, but as a person I liked her, she came across as very hum an, with a great sense of humour. RIP

So sad when you lose a loved one. My younger sister, just 61, died very suddenly and unexpectedly a couple of months ago. Heartbroken and devastated just doesn't convey how I feel so I know how Joan must be feeling. They may be gone from our sight but never from our hearts. RIP Jackie.

Have never read a Jackie Collins novel. She did seem a strong character
R.I.P. flowers

I can only echo what has been said on here. I never read her books, but I am sorry she has died. I'm sure Joan will miss her sister tremendously - I certainly miss both mine.

R.I.P Jackie Collins. No longer suffering.
