A grief-stricken Cameren Diaz has received heart-felt support from her friends and family at a memorial service (celebration)for her father.
The actress is devastated following the sudden death of Emilio, 58, from pneumonia last Tuesday. The oil company foreman had been diagnosed with flu several weeks earlier and never recovered.
The informal(celebration) service, which was held in Seal Beach, California, on Sunday, saw the Hollywood star comforted by her friends and family.
They arrived at the memorial service and stayed until around 4pm.
Cameren Diaz - keen to ensure the service would be a celebration of her father's life - asked friends and family to wear colourful clothing and to not bring flowers.
Instead, she asked guests to make donations to two ocean protection charities.
One guest said: 'Most people started arriving at 1.30 and hardly anyone wore black.
'Lots of people were wearing Hawaiian shirts. It looked more like a party.'
In a statement released last week, Cameren Diaz, who was very close to her father, said: 'My dad was loved by so many people. His humour and spirit will always live on in our hearts.'
He is survived by his wife Billie and Diaz's older sister Chimene.
