Three of the four children of Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen died in Sunday’s Sri Lanka bombings.
The BBC reports that the family were visiting the country over the Easter holiday – though the names of the children have not been made public.
Povlsen owns the international clothing chain Bestseller.
“Unfortunately, we can confirm the reports,” a Bestseller spokesman told BBC in an email. “We ask you to respect the privacy of the family and we therefore have no further comments.”
The death toll in the Sri Lanka attacks is now put at 290, following a series of blasts at churches and luxury hotels on Sunday.
Police have arrested 24 people, but no one has yet to claim responsibility.
