  Presently, the inclusion of the vacuum energy in the energy momentum tensor,
and the inclusion of the extra dimensions in the spacetime, can not be rule out
of the research in gravitation. In this work we study the influence of the
vacuum energy in the collapse process of a stellar fluid, and consequently for
the cosmic censorship conjecture, considering a homogeneous and isotropic
spacetime with arbitrary number of dimensions. We discuss the active
gravitational mass of the black hole formed, where the vacuum energy and the
number of dimensions has a crucial role in the process.
