Did she tell you it was private?
Did you ever assure her it was private?
IMO unless you give a child these assurances they need to know that part of being underage and living in your home is your right to investigate their behavior, for their safety. Because you are legally responsible for what they do.

What you can do is is remove and destroy the diary without informing your daughter. The uncertainty of not knowing where her diary is or who might be reading it will cause considerable consternation but thereafter she will not commit sensitive details to an easily accessible insecure medium. If you do read her diary you will gain pieces of information which you will be unable to integrate, your daughter will know that you invaded her privacy and you will limit your future potential access to her innnermost trust. Your only justification for any action you deem appropriate is the fact that you are the parent, this is a limited jurisdiction that is only effective for a prescribed period.

Here is one of the uses I have found for my limited jurisdiction. When my daughter asks why I get the biggest piece of cake, I reply "Because I am the Dad."
