Tommy Lee Jones’ Family Issues Statement After Daughter’s Passing
Tommy Lee Jones’ family has spoken out following the loss of his daughter Victoria, asking for privacy as they mourn. The circumstances remain unclear, with authorities ruling out foul play.
The family of Victoria Jones, aged 34 and daughter of the well-known actor Tommy Lee Jones, has released a brief message in the wake of her death on the first day of the new year. News broke on 2 January 2026 that Victoria had been discovered in the early hours of New Year’s Day at the Fairmont San Francisco. Law enforcement sources confirmed her passing, with the San Francisco Fire Department stating that their team arrived at the hotel at 2:52am and, after an assessment, declared her deceased at the scene.
“We appreciate all of the kind words, thoughts, and prayers.”
The family’s statement, shared with Rolling Stone, continued:
“Please respect our privacy during this difficult time.”
The cause behind Victoria’s death has not been determined, though officials have indicated that there is no suspicion of foul play. She was pronounced dead where she was found, and no further details have been made public at this stage.
Early Life and Career
Victoria was the second child of Tommy Lee Jones and his first wife, Kimberlea Cloughley. She grew up alongside her older brother, Austin, who is now 43. From a young age, Victoria found herself in the spotlight, making an appearance in Men in Black II back in 2002. She also took on a small part in The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, a film directed by her father, and later featured in the teen drama series One Tree Hill.
Her father once spoke warmly of her abilities, remarking in 2005,
“She’s a good actress, has her SAG [Screen Actors Guild] card, speaks impeccable Spanish. When she was a baby, I told Leticia, her nurse, to speak to her in Spanish.”
The two were last seen together publicly in 2017, attending the premiere of his film Just Getting Started at ArcLight Hollywood.
Family and Legacy
Tommy Lee Jones, known for his roles in The Fugitive, No Country For Old Men, Captain America: The First Avenger, and Jason Bourne, has long been a fixture in Hollywood. Victoria’s own career, though more understated, included both film and television, and she was recognised for her talent and linguistic skills.
As the family comes to terms with their loss, they have asked for space and understanding from the public. The investigation into the circumstances continues, but authorities have reiterated that there is no evidence of criminal activity. The Jones family, meanwhile, has expressed gratitude for the support and condolences received during this period of mourning.
