The French-British actress and singer Jane Birkin, who in the late 1960s popularized the international musical hit 'Je t'aime...moi non plus' with Serge Gainsbourg, has died at the age of 76 in Paris, where she was established since 1960, according to the French newspaper 'Le Parisien'.

Jane Birkin, who had recently canceled several concerts due to her health, was found dead this Sunday at her home in Paris, the French newspaper noted.

"I have always been very optimistic and I realize that I still need a little time to be able to perform on stage again and with you," Birkin said in May following the cancellations of some of his concerts.

Birkin had a daughter from her first marriage to composer John Barry, Kate, who died in 2013. Later she was with Serge Gainsbourg, with whom, in addition to performing the acclaimed international musical hit 'Je t'aime...moi non plus' he had another daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg, in 1971.
