Cameron Diaz has lost her dad Emilio, 58, after an unexpected illness. He developed pneumonia after a bout with flu, and his death was a surprise both due to his relatively young age and the fact that he was in good health prior to his recent illness.
Emilio worked as a foreman at an oil company and lived in Seal Beach, California.
TMZ reports that production has shut down on Diaz’s film “My Sister’s Keeper.”
My father is a little older than 58 and I can’t imagine losing him so young. That’s incredibly sad and our thoughts are with Cameron and her family.
