The cause of death is not yet known.

The Daily Mail reported that a fellow guest alerted staff after finding Jones unresponsive in a corridor.

Jones is the second child of Tommy Lee Jones and his second wife, Kimberlea Cloughley. Her brother, Austin, is 43.

As a child, Jones acted alongside her father in films such as Men in Black II and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, and she also appeared in the TV series One Tree Hill.

When promoting The Three Burials, Tommy Lee Jones said of his daughter: “She’s a good actress, has her SAG [Screen Actors Guild] card, speaks impeccable Spanish. When she was a baby, I told Leticia, her nurse, to speak to her in Spanish.”

He also said that as a teenager, she had balked at the early starts required on film sets. “She had to get up at 5am for her part,” he told the New Yorker. “One morning, she wouldn’t get out of bed. I said: ‘Honey, this is work.’ But she wouldn’t budge.

“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.”

The pair appeared together frequently on the red carpet, including in October 2018, when he was on the jury of the Tokyo film festival.

Tommy Lee Jones, 79, won an Oscar and Golden Globe for his role in The Fugitive and has also acted in films such as JFK, Lincoln, In the Valley of Elah and No Country for Old Men.
