On the first day of the new year, actor Tommy Lee Jones, who lost his daughter, spoke publicly for the first time.
On the 2nd (local time), Page Six reported that Tommy Lee Jones and his family expressed their feelings in an official statement after the death of their daughter Victoria.
The family released a statement saying, "We are grateful for all the warm words, condolences and prayers sent to us. We ask that our privacy be respected during this difficult time." The statement was issued in the name of the family of Victoria Kafka Jones.
Victoria Jones was earlier found unresponsive on the 14th floor of the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco in the early hours of Thursday.
According to the 911 call records obtained by TMZ related to the first day of the new year, a possible drug overdose was raised due to a "change in color." According to the Cleveland Clinic, this expression refers to cyanosis, in which lack of oxygen in the blood causes the skin, lips and nails to change color.
People on the scene performed CPR, and arriving paramedics also attempted resuscitation, but Victoria was pronounced dead at the scene. The exact cause has not been revealed, but the San Francisco police reportedly did not find any drug paraphernalia, signs of homicide, or any evidence suggesting suicide.
A hotel spokesperson said, "We are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred at the hotel on Jan. 1, 2026. We extend our sincere condolences to the bereaved family and loved ones during this very difficult time. The hotel team is actively cooperating with and supporting the police authorities within the scope of the ongoing investigation."
Victoria, born to Tommy Lee Jones and his second wife Kimberly Kluge, followed her father into acting as a child and appeared in the film "Men in Black 1." In 2003 she appeared in an episode of the popular teen series "One Tree Hill," and in 2005 she also appeared in the film "The Third Funeral of Melquiades Estrada," directed by her father.
