Physically? No, unless it's done so obsessively that it causes actual pain or damage.
Emotionally or practically? Possibly. If daily masturbation is taking care of your immediate sexual needs and it's not interfering with your social or work life, then don't worry about it. IF it is, then you may be masturbating too much.
From a physical standpoint the answer is an unqualitfied no.
However, ANYTHING that has an addictive quality to it...anything that you use to escape from feelings or situations rather than dealing with them can eventually "stunt" your growth and keep you stuck in a pattern.
So if masturbation is something you choose to do every day for fun, then I would say no problem. However, if you find yourself using mastubation as a tool to feel better (in an ongoing, escapist manner) or you find it is triggered by certain situations that you are uncomfortable with, then I would say that you need to look at that behavior and decide if it is helpful to you. This is really the case with anything: TV, Music, Exercise, relationships, eating...anything can be negative when you are not the one choosing to do them.
No, there's nothing that can hurt you.
