Victoria, the daughter of acclaimed actor Tommy Lee Jones, was tragically discovered deceased in a luxurious San Francisco hotel at the age of 34. Her untimely demise occurred in the early hours of New Year’s Day.

According to information from the San Francisco Fire Department, a call for medical assistance was placed at 2:52 a.m. on Thursday, directing responders to the Fairmont Hotel’s location.

Upon arrival, emergency services assessed the situation and declared one individual dead on the premises. Both the San Francisco Police Department and the Medical Examiner were present, though the exact cause of death is yet to be determined.

A source revealed to the Daily Mail, “A white female in her mid-30s was discovered unresponsive, prompting hotel staff to alert authorities. Despite CPR efforts, she was pronounced dead by the arriving emergency crew.” It has been confirmed by the Daily Mail that this individual was indeed Victoria.

This heartbreaking news was initially reported by TMZ, noting that law enforcement took over the scene after her death was confirmed.

Jones welcomed Victoria and his son Austin, 42, with his second wife Kimberlea Cloughley, whom he was married to from 1981 to 1996. 

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 Police Department 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 2005 episode of One Tree Hill and a role that same year the Western picture The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which was directed by her father.

Although she has not acted onscreen since her role as a cheerleader on One Tree Hill, she has attended the occasional red carpet alongside Jones as an adult.

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. 

She also made an appearance with her father in October 2017 at the opening of that year’s Tokyo International Film Festival, where he was serving as president of the international competition jury. 

After directing his daughter in The Three Burials of Melquiades, Jones showered praise on Victoria in an interview promoting the film.

‘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 5am 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.
