Joan Collins pays tribute to 'brave and beautiful' sister

Joan Collins has paid tribute a "brave and beautiful sister" following the death of her younger sibling, Jackie.

Joan, who only learned of Jackie's illness within the last two weeks, has said she is "completely devastated"

The 82-year-old told People magazine: "She was my best friend.

"I admire how she handled this. She was a wonderful, brave and a beautiful person and I love her."

Before her death Jackie told the publication she had not wanted to tell her sister because she did not want to burden her.
