Tommy Lee Jones and his family have released a brief statement following the death of his daughter, Victoria Jones, who died on New Year’s Day.
Victoria, 34, was found dead at the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco at around 3:00 a.m. on January 1. Authorities say she suffered a medical emergency. In a short statement shared with People, the family thanked the public for the “kind words, thoughts, and prayers,” and asked for privacy during their time of grief.
Emergency services were called to the hotel shortly before 3:00 a.m. The San Francisco Fire Department said paramedics responded at approximately 2:52 a.m., with bystanders given CPR instructions before crews arrived. Police confirmed officers were sent to a hotel on the 900 block of Mason Street at around 3:14 a.m., where medics pronounced an adult woman dead. The medical examiner attended the scene, and an autopsy is expected to determine the cause of death. Authorities said the death is not being treated as suspicious.
Born in 1991, Victoria was the daughter of the Men in Black actor and his ex-wife, Kimberlea Cloughley. She was the younger of their two children; the couple also share a son, Austin Jones, 43.
Victoria appeared in several projects, including Men in Black II, One Tree Hill, and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. In recent years, she stepped away from acting but continued to support her father at public events.
