In an interview with The Huffington Post, the actress said that she was very happy to be invited back for A Good Day to Die Hard.
"I loved that part when I played it. I really felt connected to being John McClane's daughter. So, it's fun to revisit it," she explained.
The star also teased her role in the film: "I'm in A Good Day to Die Hard very briefly; there's not a lot I can say because I wasn't really there for most of it.
"But it was really exciting. It's great to be part of the McClane family tree!'
Willis recently admitted that starring in A Good Day to Die Hard was a major risk because he is now 57 years old.
"I guess it's a personal challenge," he said. "There are gaps of time between each movie. It's a kind of ageist tryptic: 'Oh, OK, now I'm this age', and trying to tell that action movie, Die Hardtheme - but I'm a little older."
A Good Day to Die Hard opens on February 14, 2013 in the UK and the US.
