Tommy Lee Jones breaks silence after daughter’s death from suspected OD
The family of Victoria Jones, the daughter of Oscar-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones, has broken their silence over her recent death following a suspected drug overdose.
“We appreciate all of your kind words, thoughts and prayers,” they said in a statement to E! News. “Please respect our privacy during this difficult time.”
Victoria was reportedly found unconscious at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco in the early hours of New Year’s Eve. First responders were called to the famous venue, also known as the “White House of the West,” on Thursday around 2:52 a.m. for a medical emergency.
In Broadcastify dispatch audio, obtained by TMZ, the emergency 911 call was classified as “code 3 for overdose, color change,” but few other details were provided about the case. In drug overdoses, skin color changes are often caused by cyanosis — low oxygen levels in the blood that can produce a blue or purple tint to the skin, lips and nails — according to the Cleveland Clinic.
The San Francisco Police Department confirmed officers went to the hotel for reports of a “deceased person.” When they arrived at the scene around 3:15 a.m., they were greeted by paramedics who pronounced Victoria dead. She was 34 years old and the cause of her death is still unknown, but authorities do not suspect foul play at this time.
A witness at the scene reportedly told first responders that Victoria had used cocaine in the hours before her death, according to TMZ. She had a history of substance abuse, including at least two drug-related arrests in 2025.
Victoria was one of two children Jones shared with his first wife, Kimberlea Cloughley, to whom he was married from 1981 to 1996. They also share a son, Austin, 43.
Victoria appeared with her father in several of his films, including a cameo in “Men in Black II” and small roles in “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada” and “The Homesman”, both also directed by Jones.
His father, on the other hand, is an acclaimed actor, known for his performances in films like “JFK,” “No Country for Old Men” and “Lincoln.” He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1993 for his work in “The Fugitive,” alongside Harrison Ford.
