Billionaire businessman Anders Holch Povlsen says three of his children were killed in the Sri Lanka attacks.
A spokesperson for Mr Povlsen, who is the largest shareholder in Asos.com, confirmed that three of the businessman's four children were among the dead as they visited Sri Lanka over the Easter holiday, the Daily Mirror reports.
Mr Povlsen is Denmark's richest man, Scotland's biggest private landowner and owner of the Bestseller clothing chain.
At least 290 people were killed and 500 wounded in a series of eight co-ordinated blasts on Easter Sunday at three churches, three hotels, a guesthouse and near an overpass.
This morning the Sri Lankan High Commissioner to the UK, Manisha Gunasekera, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that 'as of now' it was believed eight British nationals were killed in the attacks.
The attacks were carried out by seven suicide bombers.
Thirteen suspects have been arrested, according to officials. No-one has taken responsibility for the massacre.

Mr Povlsen, who reportedly has a net worth of £4.5bn, recently told how he plans to restore the Scottish Highlands and leave all of his land to his kids when he dies.
The billionaire, who inherited his fortune from his parents, fell in love with the Highlands on a family holiday in the 1980s when he was a young boy, and started snapping up land as an adult.
Denmark's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Monday that three Danes were killed in the bombings, with a spokesman for Mr Povlsen's empire confirming that the victims were the billionaire's children.
In a letter posted on his Wildland website just days ago, Mr Povlsen said he and his wife Anne, 40, plan to pass on their estates - and their 'rewilding' vision for their land in Scotland - to their children when they die.
The wealthy couple own a dozen estates over more than 220,000 acres across Sutherland and the Grampian mountains, amounting to about one per cent of Scotland's land.
They reside at Glenfeshie in the Cairngorms.
The Povlsens wrote of their "rewilding" vision: “That responsibility has evolved to become a labour of love; a project that we are deeply passionate about.

"It is a project that we know cannot be realised in our lifetime, which will bear fruit not just for our own children but also for the generations of visitors who, like us, hold a deep affection the Scottish Highlands.”
The couple are restoring native woodlands, peatlands, wetland and rivers to their natural state, while trying to boost the number of threatened animals including golden eagles, wildcats, red squirrels and capercaillies.
