Her family said in a statement that she suffered "a major brain haemorrhage" at 1830 BST on Monday 10th September 2007, at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester, West Sussex.
Her husband, Gordon, and her daughters Sam and Justine were all with her.
Dame Anita set up the first Body Shop in Brighton in 1976. She pioneered cruelty-free beauty products and turned them into a highly profitable business.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this time of loss.
