Cameron Diaz: I'm having a year out of the spotlight

Actress wants to take time time out after death of her father

Cameron Diaz is planning to take a break from filming for 12 months.

The actress – who recently lost her dad to pneumonia - thinks a time away from the spotlight will do her good.

'I envision a full year off, just living life,' she tells W magazine.

'This year I decided there's a lot of things that I've been wanting to do and I'm going to do them.'

Cameron's family have paid tribute to Emilio Diaz, who died last week at the age of 58.

'His love for laughter was undeniable and he embraced life head on, in such a dynamic way that he was impossible to forget,' the family said in a statement to People.

'The thing that was most important to him was his family.'

Emilio left behind wife Billie and daughters Cameron, 35, and Chimene, 37.
