Victoria Jones, the 34-year-old daughter of renowned actor Tommy Lee Jones, was tragically discovered dead in a luxury hotel room in San Francisco during the early hours of New Year’s Day.
According to a report from TMZ, emergency medical responders found her lifeless body just before 3 a.m. at the Fairmont San Francisco. The situation was subsequently handed over to the police for further investigation.
The San Francisco Fire Department confirmed to the Daily Mail that they received a call for medical assistance at 2:52 a.m. on Thursday, which directed them to the prestigious hotel’s address.
Upon arrival, emergency crews assessed the situation and declared the individual deceased on-site. Both the San Francisco Police Department and the Medical Examiner’s Office were involved in the response. Currently, the exact cause of Victoria’s death has not been determined.
A source informed the Daily Mail that a “white female in her mid-30s was found unresponsive, prompting hotel staff to alert authorities.” Despite efforts to revive her through CPR, she was pronounced dead by the responding emergency and ambulance team.
Victoria was one of two children Tommy Lee Jones had with his second wife, Kimberlea Cloughley. The couple, who were married from 1981 to 1996, also share a son, Austin, who is 42 years old.
The Daily Mail has contacted Tommy Lee Jones’ representatives for comment, as well as the Fairmont San Francisco and the San Francisco Police Department.

A spokesperson for the San Francisco told the Daily Mail: ‘On 1/1/26 at approximately 3:14 a.m., San Francisco Police officers responded to a hotel located on the 900 block of Mason street regarding a report of a deceased person.’
The statement continued: ‘At the scene, officers met with medics, who declared the adult female deceased. The Medical Examiner arrived on scene and conducted an investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the SFPD at 415-575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the message with SFPD.’
Victoria Kafka Jones was born on September 3, 1991, and by 2002 she had made her movie debut with a small part in her father’s picture Men in Black II.
She appeared in a handful of acting projects as a child, including a 2003 episode of One Tree Hill and a role in the 2005 Western picture The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which was directed by her father.
Although she withdrew from the spotlight by the time of her adulthood, she has attended the occasional red carpet alongside Jones.
In 2017, she posed proudly at his side at the ArcLight Hollywood for the premiere of his movie Just Getting Started, also starring Morgan Freeman and Rene Russo.
Jones showered praise on his daughter during a 2006 interview promoting The Three Burials of Melquiades after he directed her in the feature.
‘She’s a good actress, has her SAG card, speaks impeccable Spanish,’ he said. ‘When she was a baby, I told Leticia, her nurse, to speak to her in Spanish.’
He also related a charming anecdote about having to acclimatize his then 14-year-old daughter to the rigors of working on a Hollywood movie set.
‘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,’ he told the New Yorker.
‘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,’ he recalled.
