In a heartbreaking revelation, the family of Tommy Lee Jones has spoken out following the tragic death of his daughter, Victoria. The 34-year-old was found deceased at a San Francisco hotel in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
Emergency services were dispatched to the prestigious Fairmont San Francisco at 2:52 a.m. on Thursday. They responded to an emergency call concerning a suspected overdose, where the victim exhibited signs of ‘color change,’ as reported by 911 audio obtained by the Daily Mail.
Despite the paramedics’ efforts to revive her, Victoria was declared dead at the scene. Police subsequently took over the site to conduct a thorough investigation.
According to a source within law enforcement, no indications of foul play were detected. There were neither visible injuries on Victoria’s body nor any drug paraphernalia found in the vicinity.
In the wake of this devastating news, the Jones family issued a statement expressing their gratitude for the support they have received. “We appreciate all of the kind words, thoughts, and prayers. Please respect our privacy during this difficult time. Thank you,” they shared through TMZ.
The Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Tommy Lee Jones for comment.

Jones shared Victoria as well as his his son Austin, 42, with his second wife Kimberlea Cloughley, whom he was married to from 1981 to 1996.
It emerged Friday that Victoria, a former child actress, was arrested twice last year, with the Daily Mail exclusively obtaining a mugshot taken this June in which she appeared to have a bruise below one eye.
Victoria’s first arrest came in April, when Napa Valley police officers were called to perform a wellness check and ended up charging her with driving under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and resisting arrest.
Then in June, she was arrested again over a domestic violence incident at Napa’s Carneros Resort and Spa, where rooms cost $500 a night at minimum.
Although no further information has surfaced about that case, the Daily Mail has seen separate court filings indicating Victoria had also been accused of elder abuse.
She pled not guilty to all the charges against her and was scheduled to appear in court for a settlement hearing later this month.
However Victoria was found dead New Year’s Day on the 14th floor of the Fairmont San Francisco, with the initial discovery made by a hotel guest who was going downstairs and saw her lying on the floor, according to a law enforcement source.
The guest allegedly thought she might be drunk and alerted hotel staff, who came up and saw she was unresponsive, whereupon they started performing CPR and called the paramedics, who pronounced her dead.

It remains unclear whether Victoria was a guest at the hotel or how she came to be on the 14th floor, according to the Daily Mail’s insider.
The Daily Mail obtained the chilling 911 audio from Broadcastify, indicating Victoria was called in as a ‘code 3 for the overdose, color change’ – with code 3 signifying an emergency that necessitates an immediate response with sirens and flashing lights.
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 a Western called The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which was directed by her father.
Although she has not acted onscreen since she played a cheerleader on One Tree Hill, she has attended the occasional red carpet with 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.

That October, she made an appearance with her father at the opening ceremony of the 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.
