Jones shared his seven kids: Jolie, 71; Rachel, 61; Martina, 58; Quincy III, 56; Kidada, 50; Rashida, 48; and Kenya, 31, with five different women.

Following the death of her father, Rashida took to Instagram to deliver a touching tribute, calling him a "giant".

Alongside a photo of her father holding her as a baby, the actress wrote: "My dad was nocturnal his whole adult life. He kept 'jazz hours' starting in high school and never looked back. When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night to search for him.

"Undoubtedly, he would be somewhere in the house, composing (old school, with a pen and sheet music). He would never send me back to bed. He would smile and bring me into his arms while he continued to work...there was no safer place in the world for me."
