Her paternal family's estate was at Metohija in Zlopek near Peć. Her paternal great-grandfather, Bogić Camić Jovović, was a flag-bearer of the Montenegrin Serb Vasojevići clan and officer of the guard of the King Nicholas I of Montenegro; his wife's name was Milica. Her paternal grandfather, Bogdan Jovović, was a commander in the Priština military area, and later investigated finances in military areas of Skopje and Sarajevo, where he uncovered massive gold embezzlement. He was punished for refusing to convict his friend for the crime. Later, the communist government imprisoned him on Goli Otok. When he feared that he could be arrested again, he escaped to Albania and later moved to Kiev. Another version of the story claims that he was the one to have taken the gold.

In 1981, when Milla was five years old, her family had to leave the Soviet Union for political reasons[7] and move to London; they subsequently lived in Sacramento, California, USA. Seven months later, they settled in Los Angeles, California. Jovovich's mother attempted to support the family with acting jobs, but found little success, eventually resorting to cleaning houses to earn money. Both her father and mother provided house cleaning services for director Brian de Palma.[8] Jovovich's father had been incarcerated for most of her childhood for taking part in a health-insurance scam; he was released in 1999 after 20 years in prison. Jovovich has gone on to say, "Prison was good for him. He's become a much better person. It gave him a chance to stop and think." As a teenager before age 14, she had claimed to be rebellious, engaging in drug-taking, shoppingmall vandalism and credit-card fraud.[9] She also has a brother named Marco Jovovich born in 1988.

In 1991, Jovovich had a starring role in the romance adventure sequel Return to the Blue Lagoon, opposite Brian Krause, which led to comparisons between her and child model-turned-actress, Brooke Shields (who had starred in the original Blue Lagoon). For her role, she was nominated for both 'Best Young Actress Starring in a Motion Picture' in the 1991 Young Artist Awards, and 'Worst New Star' in the 1991 Golden Raspberry Awards.
