Victoria Jones, the daughter of renowned actor Tommy Lee Jones, has tragically passed away at the age of 34. Her family has spoken out, releasing a statement that appreciates the kind words and thoughts from fans while asking for privacy during this difficult time.
Victoria Jones, the daughter of actor Tommy Lee Jones, was found dead in the Fairmont San Francisco hotel on Thursday, January 1, at the age of 34. The San Francisco Fire Department confirmed that they responded to a report of a medical emergency at the hotel in the early hours of Thursday morning.
“We appreciate all of the kind words, thoughts, and prayers. Please respect our privacy during this difficult time,” the family said in a statement to Us Weekly on Friday, January 2. A 911 call released on Friday, January 2, revealed that San Francisco police officers received a call for “code 3 for the overdose, color change.” Paramedics pronounced Victoria dead on the scene, and it has been suspected that she died from an overdose.
Victoria is survived by her father, actor Tommy Lee Jones, and his ex-wife Kimberlea Cloughley, along with an older brother named Austin Jones. Tommy, 79, and Cloughley split in 1991, and he has since moved on with Dawn Laurel-Jones, whom he married in 2001.
Prior to her death, Victoria appeared alongside her father in several films, including Men in Black II and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. Tommy also spoke candidly about his daughter’s budding acting career in an interview with The New Yorker in 2006, revealing that he even had to fire her from The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which was released that year.
“She’s a good actress, has her SAG card, speaks impeccable Spanish,” he said at the time. “When she was a baby, I told her nurse to speak to her in Spanish, but I fired my daughter [from the movie].” Tommy explained the firing, adding, “She had to get up at 5 a.m. for her part. One morning, she wouldn’t get out of bed. I said, ‘Honey, this is work.’ But she wouldn’t budge, so I fired her. Then, without telling me, the production staff went over and woke her and rushed her out to the set just in time.”
Along with Victoria’s past roles in her father’s movies, she also appeared in Sorry, Haters, One Tree Hill, and The Homesman. She hasn’t appeared in any other onscreen projects since 2014. Victoria’s most recent appearance alongside her dad came in 2017 when she accompanied Tommy to the Just Getting Started premiere.
