Tommy Lee Jones was spotted stepping out with his wife in the actor’s first public sighting since his daughter Victoria’s tragic death.
The “Men In Black” star and Dawn Laurel-Jones were seen exiting a building in San Antonio, Texas, Monday.
The actor, 79, was wearing a blue flannel shirt, tan pants and green sneakers. He also had scruffy facial hair and wore glasses.
Dawn, who is Tommy’s third wife, wore a red sweater and matching red trousers with brown suede booties.
The couple, who live in the San Antonio area, was photographed walking side by side before getting into their car.
An insider told Daily Mail Tuesday that Tommy is “not himself right now.”
“Tommy is heartbroken,” the source said, adding, “For a tough guy and one that usually has it all together, the stress of losing a child has clearly hit him like a ton of bricks.”
Tommy’s somber outing came just five days after Victoria tragically died at the Fairmont San Francisco hotel on Jan. 1. She was 34.
The next day, Tommy addressed his daughter’s death in a heartbreaking statement.
“We appreciate all of the kind words, thoughts, and prayers,” the family wrote in a statement obtained by Page Six on Jan. 2. “Please respect our privacy during this difficult time. Thank you.”
The statement was signed by “The Family of Victoria Kafka Jones.”
Tommy shared Victoria with his second wife, Kimberlea Cloughley, whom he was married to from 1981 to1996. (He married Dawn in 2001 and was married to first wife Kate Lardner from 1971 to 1978.)
Victoria was found unresponsive on the 14th floor of the ritzy hotel early New Year’s Day by an individual who believed her to be drunkenly passed out. The samaritan immediately alerted staffers, who then called 911.
The call was dispatched as a “code 3 for the overdose, color change” — which could indicate that her death was a suspected overdose. However, her official cause of death has yet to be confirmed.
First responders tried to revive her, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
While there was no sign of foul play or drug paraphernalia on the scene, a San Francisco cop who had dealings with Victoria told The Post she had struggled with substance abuse issues and suspected her death was “fentanyl-related.”
A hotel representative told Page Six in a statement at the time that the Fairmont team is “deeply saddened by the incident.”
“Our heartfelt condolences are with the family and loved ones during this very difficult time,” a hotel spokesperson said. “The hotel team is actively cooperating and supporting police authorities within the framework of the ongoing investigation.”
Victoria, who had quite the rap sheet, admitted to being under the influence of cocaine during an arrest just months before her passing.
