Eight really isn't that young for masturbation, my bet is she figured out that it feels good, but doesn't necessarily know why it feels good or what feels so good about it. There's more than likely. nothing sexual in intent about it.
Find some books at the library that would help you talk about sex to younger kids, or do some googling (Preteen girls and masturbation is a bad google - I'm gonna have some explaining to do with the alarms I am sure got set off on the fire wall) about how to talk to her about this topic and how to listen to her.
Don't make assumptions that masturabating at age 8 will lead to blowjobs on the school bus and promiscuous behavior.
If you are comfortable with sex and talkin about it, it will make for a better relationship with your daughter becaude she'll be able to come to you.
