Penelope Cruz's Father Dies: Eduardo Cruz Passes Away at 62

Penelope Cruz's father, Eduardo Cruz, has passed away at age 62.

It is suspected that Eduardo suffered a heart attack Thursday morning at his home in La Manga in Southeast Spain, PEOPLE reports.

A relative told the Spanish magazine HOLA! that he lived and worked in the house with his second wife, Carmen Moreno. The two ran a beauty salon and had a 3-year-old daughter together.

Penelope was filming abroad for "Zoolander 2" with Ben Stiller when she heard the news and made immediate plans to return to Spain.

Her sister, TV actress Monica Cruz, had to cancel her plans for a promotional appearance as well.

This isn't the first of Eduardo's heart issues. In 2012, he suffered from some heart problems and was put into a hospital near La Manga.

Penelope was extremely close to her father and he often visited her on the set of her films.

She has not made any public comments on his death yet.
