Tommy Lee Jones and his family are enduring an immeasurable tragedy. The star of Men in Black's daughter, Victoria Jones, was discovered deceased in the wee hours of January 1st, in a San Francisco hotel room, as reported by TMZ, citing law enforcement sources. She was just 34 years old. According to the outlet, the cause of Victoria's death remains undetermined, and the investigation is ongoing.
San Francisco Fire Department officials confirmed to E! News on January 2nd that they responded to a medical emergency at 2:52 a.m. local time on New Year's Day. Upon arrival, paramedics conducted an assessment and pronounced the individual deceased at the scene. The SFFD, who did not confirm the individual's identity, then turned the case over to the medical examiner and the San Francisco Police Department. E! News has reached out to Tommy Lee's representatives regarding Victoria's death but has not yet received a response.
From a tender age, Victoria, who shared her father's Hollywood dreams with her brother Austin Jones, 43, from ex-wife Kimberlea Cloughley, followed in her father's footsteps. At just 11 years old, she made her on-screen debut alongside her father and Will Smith in Men in Black II in 2002. Later, the father-daughter duo collaborated again on The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which hit the big screen in 2006.
"She's a talented actress with her SAG card and speaks impeccable Spanish," Tommy Lee told The New Yorker at the time. "When she was a baby, I instructed Leticia, her nurse, to speak to her in Spanish." And while Tommy Lee once tried to fire his daughter from the film for oversleeping for her 5 a.m. call time, the production staff recognized her irreplaceable talent. "Without telling me, the production staff went over and woke her," he added, "and rushed her out to the set just in time."
Victoria also appeared in an episode of One Tree Hill and Tommy Lee's The Homesman before retiring from acting in 2014.
