Smoothness of a morphism of smooth varieties with smooth fibres

I am asking for a reference for the following lemma (for which I know a proof).

Lemma. Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a surjective morphism of irreducible smooth complex algebraic varieties (separated, reduced, irreducible schemes of finite type over $\Bbb C$) with smooth fibres. Then the morphism $f$ is smooth.

Feel free to migrate this elementary question to Mathematics StackExchange.
