Pierce Brosnan's daughter, Charlotte, has died after a three-year battle with ovarian cancer. Charlotte, who was 41, passed away on 28 June in London.

"She was surrounded by her husband Alex, her children Isabella and Lucas and her brothers Christopher and Sean," Brosnan, 60, said in a statement.

Charlotte lost her mother to the same disease in 1991 when Cassandra Harris, then married to Brosnan, died at the age of 50. Harris also lost her mother to ovarian cancer when she was a teenager.
