Diaz pulls out of premiere over dad's death

CAMERON DIAZ has pulled out of the London premiere of her new movie following the death of her father.

Emilio Diaz died from pneumonia on Tuesday (15Apr08) aged 58, after the illness developed from a recent bout of influenza.

And the actress has cancelled all of her forthcoming engagements as a result, including the premiere of What Happens In Vegas next Tuesday (22Apr08) with co-star Ashton Kutcher.

The organisers say, "Sadly she won't be attending. We're waiting for more news but as far as we are aware the premiere is still going ahead as planned with Ashton."

Shooting on her latest movie My Sister's Keeper has also been temporarily suspended to allow Diaz time to mourn. (JC/WNWET/MT)
