Jones was discovered unresponsive at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco early Thursday morning.

A spokesperson for the San Francisco Fire Department said paramedics responded to the scene and that bystanders were given CPR instructions according to CAD records. Despite these efforts, Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities have turned the case over to the San Francisco Police Department and the Medical Examiner’s Office for further investigation. As of now, a cause of death has not been determined. TMZ was the first outlet to report the news.
Daughter of Tommy Lee Jones and Kimberlea Cloughley
Born in 1991, Victoria Jones was the daughter of Tommy Lee Jones and his second wife, Kimberlea Cloughley. The former couple, who were married from 1981 to 1996, also share a son, Austin Jones, now 43. Following his divorce from Cloughley, Tommy Lee Jones married his third wife, Dawn Laurel-Jones, in 2001.
Early Acting Career Alongside Her Father
As a child and teenager, Victoria briefly followed in her father’s footsteps into the acting world. She appeared alongside Tommy Lee Jones in “Men in Black II” and later had a role in an episode of the popular teen drama “One Tree Hill” in 2003.
In 2005, she appeared in “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada,” a film directed by her father, marking one of her last known acting roles.
Praise From Her Father and Life Out of the Spotlight
In a 2006 interview with The New Yorker, Tommy Lee Jones spoke proudly of his daughter, describing her as “a good actress” with a SAG card and noting that she spoke impeccable Spanish. He credited her early language skills to her nurse, who spoke to her in Spanish from infancy.
In later years, Victoria stepped away from acting and largely lived out of the public eye, although she was occasionally seen supporting her father at red-carpet events.
The investigation into her death remains ongoing.
