Recently returned to Los Angeles following a visit to New York City and Ashton Kutcher’s SNL afterparty, actress Cameron Diaz now finds herself mourning the sudden death of her father.

Emilio Diaz, who lived in Seal Beach, California, had recently developed the flu which ended up turning into pneumonia. The 58-year-old is said to have suddenly passed away on Tuesday morning (April 15).

Sources have since revealed that production on Diaz’s latest movie “My Sister’s Keeper” was shut down to give her time to grieve and take care of family matters.

Emilio was a second generation Cuban-American who worked as a foreman for an oil company - also having a small role as “Jailbird” in Cameron’s hit movie “There’s Something About Mary”.
