Victoria Kafka Jones, the 34-year-old daughter of Academy Award-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones, was found dead early on New Year’s Day inside a luxury San Francisco hotel, according to multiple news reports citing law enforcement and emergency responders.

Authorities were called to the Fairmont San Francisco at around 2:52 a.m. local time on January 1, 2026, after receiving a report of a medical emergency. Paramedics conducted an assessment and pronounced a woman dead at the scene.

The San Francisco Police Department and the Medical Examiner’s Office took over the investigation, but officials have not yet released a cause of death.

While the police had not formally confirmed the identity early on, local outlets and authorities identified the deceased as Victoria Jones, who was believed to be the actor’s daughter. Law enforcement has stated that at this time, foul play is not suspected, though an official determination awaits the medical examiner’s findings.

Victoria was the daughter of Tommy Lee Jones and his first wife, Kimberlea Cloughley. She had a brief acting career as a young performer, appearing alongside her father in projects like Men in Black II (2002) and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005), and she also made a guest appearance on the TV drama One Tree Hill in 2003.

After stepping back from frequent acting roles in adulthood, Victoria occasionally attended public events and was seen supporting her father at red-carpet functions. She is survived by her father and her brother Austin, aged in his early 40s.

The news of her death has shocked many fans and observers, especially given her relatively young age and the timing during the holiday period.
