Pierce Brosnan's stepdaughter, 41, has died after a 3-year battle with cancer.

The former 'James Bond' star flew back to the UK to be at Charlotte's side. He has since said 'our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl'.

Charlotte died of ovarian cancer, the same illness that took her mother's life when she was married to Pierce in 1991.

The mother-of-two died at her London home on Friday. It is reported she was surrounded by her husband Alex, children Isabella and Lucas and brothers Christopher and Sean

Pierce had been filming a spy thriller 'November Man' in Eastern Europe.

Brosnan, now 60, married Cassandra, an Australian actress and former Bond girl, in 1980. She had been married before and had two children, Charlotte and Christopher. When their father died in 1986, Pierce adopted them and they took his surname.
