Cameron Diaz may be back to work promoting her new film, What Happens in Vegas, but her dad is never far from her thoughts – or the conversation.

After sitting down with costar Ashton Kutcher for a lighthearted interview with the Today show's Meredith Vieira, the talk briefly turned to Diaz's recent loss. (Her father, Emilio, died at age 58 from post-influenza MRSA pneumonia.)

Thankful for condolences offered by Vieira, Diaz went from all smiles to somber, saying, "I think we're just so fortunate as a family – to have the family that we have."

She also gave a shout-out to Kutcher's great parenting skills, calling Demi Moore's daughters "good girls."
