Impossible to know... but when they were nearly worth nothing in the start, lot of them were lost for sure.
Yes, we can't be sure of the exact number of lost bitcoins. But:

1. It is not important.
2. It is actually a good thing that bitcoins are lost.
3. Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone.
