Former adult film star Chloe Jones died on Saturday morning in her hometown of Houston. She was 29.

Jones’ best friend, Karen Struble, said the cause of her passing was not yet known. Her 30th birthday would have been June 17.

“It was sudden,” Struble told AVN.com.

Jones, a Penthouse Pet in April 1998, was a contract performer for Vivid Entertainment Group and New Sensations, the first company with which she was exclusive in 2001. She also had layouts in Playboy and Vanity Fair, among numerous other magazines, in addition to mainstream appearances on shows such as “Baywatch,” “Diagnosis Murder,” “Edenquest” and Showtime’s “Full Frontal Comedy.” Jones performed in less than 30 productions in four years, and had stopped performing in adult videos last year.

Jones is survived by three children, an 8-year-old girl and 7-year-old twin boys.

Club Jenna Inc. indicated it would be setting up a fund for Jones’ children that it would contribute to on a monthly basis. The email address info@chloeaid.com will be set up in the next 48 hours for inquiries.
