Ms Jones’ cause of death has not been confirmed but an investigation is underway.

She was the daughter of Jones, 79, and his first wife Kimberlea Cloughley, and had a brief career in acting in the early 2000’s, with roles on Men in Black 2, One Tree Hill and 2005’s Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which was directed by her famous dad.

She was arrested three times in 2025, according to the New York Post.

In April, she was charged in Napa County with obstructing a peace officer, being under the influence of a controlled substance, and possession of a narcotic controlled substance.

The following month she was arrested in Santa Cruz County and in June, again in Napa County, she was arrested on domestic battery and domestic violence/elder abuse charges and later released on bail.

Ms Jones pleaded not guilty in both cases out of Napa County, according to court records cited by the Post.

Oscar-winner Jones is renowned for iconic roles in blockbuster films including Men In Black, No Country for Old Men, Lincoln and Captain America: The First Avenger.

He won an Academy Award for best supporting actor for his role as US Marshal Samuel Gerard in the 1993 flick The Fugitive.

Jones has not yet commented publicly on his daughter’s passing.
