The What Happens In Vegas actress unveiled her plaque at a ceremony on the Hollywood Boulevard today. She is the 2,368th person to receive the honour.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she said: "It will be cool to be under people's feet.
"It really is the place where people can understand exactly that actors are not really stars - they don't exist in the sky, they exist on the ground just like everybody else."
According to OK!, Diaz dedicated the star to the "eternal love" shared by her parents, crediting them for giving her "the strength to live this fabulous life".
Other celebrities who attended the ceremony included Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Lucy Liu and Danny Boyle. Director Nick Cassavetes was the guest speaker.
