He was 58.
An agency report quoting a longtime friend of the rock 'n' roll star Gavin De Becker, said Harrison died at 1:30 pm on Thursday at a friend's Los Angeles home.
De Becker said Harrison's wife, Olivia Harrison, and son Dhani, 24, were with him when he died.
With Harrison's death, there remain two surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
