NEW YORK (AFP) – Oscar-nominated actress Lynn Redgrave has died after a long battle against breast cancer, her children said Monday, in a new blow to one of Britain's most famous acting dynasties.

Redgrave, 67, "passed away late last night at her home," her spokesman Rick Miramontez confirmed to AFP, just over three weeks after her brother, Corin, who was also a well-known actor, died from an illness at the age of 70.

"Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven-year journey with breast cancer," her family said in a statement Monday posted on her official website.

"She lived, loved and worked harder than ever before. The endless memories she created as a mother, grandmother, writer, actor and friend will sustain us for the rest of our lives," they said.

The children, son Ben and daughters Pema and Annabel, said in their statement that they were with Redgrave when she passed away at her home in Connecticut after a career spanning some 48 years.
