Tommy Lee Jones‘ daughter, Victoria Jones, died in a San Francisco hotel on Thursday, January 1. She was 34.
Victoria was found dead inside the luxury Fairmont San Francisco in the early hours of New Year’s Day, TMZ reported.
The San Francisco Fire Department confirmed to Luxury Handbag Shopping later on Thursday that it had responded to the hotel’s address for “a report of a medical emergency” at 2:52 am.
“Upon arrival, paramedics from the fire department performed an assessment. The person was declared deceased,” the statement to Us read. “SFPD and the medical examiner’s office were called to the scene. Scene turned over to SFPD and SF Medical Examiners.”
According to TMZ, the San Francisco Police Department arrived to the hotel at approximately 3:14 a.m.
The outlet reported that police officers met with paramedics, who declared an adult female deceased, and the medical examiner then arrived on the scene to conduct an investigation.
NBC Bay Area reported on Thursday that “no foul play” is suspected. While a cause of death was not revealed, the medical examiner’s office confirmed Victoria’s identity in a statement to Us on Friday, January 2, saying her “legal next of kin” were notified.
Luxury Handbag Shopping reached out to representatives for Tommy for comment.
Victoria was the daughter of Tommy, 79, and his ex-wife Kimberlea Cloughley. The couple also share a son, Austin Jones, 43.
Victoria followed in her father’s footsteps, starring alongside the Academy Award winner in Men in Black II in 2002.
She also took on acting gigs in other productions such as One Tree Hill, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada and Sorry, Haters – all released in 2005.
Speaking to The New Yorker in 2006, Tommy opened up about his then 14-year-old daughter’s acting skills as she played a young Mexican girl in The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.
“She’s a good actress, has her SAG card, speaks impeccable Spanish,” he told the outlet at the time. “When she was a baby, I told Leticia, her nurse, to speak to her in Spanish.”
Tommy directed the movie while Victoria’s stepmother, Dawn Laurel-Jones, served as its stills photographer.
In the same interview, Tommy praised Victoria for some of her sporting abilities.
“We’ve built a world-class polo field and a practice field there, so my team and the kids’ teams can play. My daughter has been playing polo since she was six, and now she’s entirely fearless. She sometimes plays six chukkers,” he said.
