Best-selling author Terry Pratchett, best known for his 'Discworld' series, has died at the age of 66.
In a statement, Transworld Publishers MD Larry Finlay said: "The world has lost one of its brightest, sharpest minds.
"In over 70 books, Terry enriched the planet like few before him.
"As all who read him know, Discworld was his vehicle to satirize this world: he did so brilliantly, with great skill, enormous humour and constant invention.
"Terry faced his Alzheimer's disease (an 'embuggerance', as he called it) publicly and bravely. Over the last few years, it was his writing that sustained him. His legacy will endure for decades to come.
"My sympathies go out to Terry's wife Lyn, their daughter Rhianna, to his close friend Rob Wilkins, and to all closest to him."
Mr Finlay said the author "passed away in his home, with his cat sleeping on his bed, surrounded by his family".
In 2007, Mr Pratchett announced he had a rare form of early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
The official Twitter account of Terry Pratchett tweeted as the news was announced.
