"My mom, sister and I are deeply appreciative of the overwhelming outpouring of love and support during this difficult time for us and all of our family," she said in a statement.
"My dad was loved by so many people and his humor and spirit will always live on in our hearts," she added.
Her father, Emilio Diaz, just 58, had a flu which then turned into pneumonia. He died Monday.
Emilio Diaz was a second generation Cuban-American who worked for an oil company. He had small part in Cameron's comic film "There's Something About Mary."
Prayers and condolences, Cameron
