In this short letter we show that the excess of events in the decay of Higgs to two photons reported by ATLAS and CMS can be easily accommodated in a

of the Higgs into gauge bosons, therefore the new particles responsible for the excess on the rate to photons have to be colorless and preferably not spin 1, in order to avoid any mixing with the W or the Z. Thus it seems that the existence of one or more spin 0 or spin 1/2 charged particles could explain the diphoton rate measured at the LHC. In this short letter we show that it is possible to accommodate the excess in the diphoton rate within a renormalizable three Higgs doublet model (3HDM) whose motivation is to describe, in a minimal way, the avor structure of the SM. Having extra Higgs doublets imply, upon electroweak symmetry breaking, the existence of new charged spin zero particles, two in this particular model. We are going to show that it is possible to satisfy all avor constrains in this
