Her older brother is Tamerlane Phillips and her half-siblings are Mackenzie Phillips, Jeffrey Phillips, and Chynna Phillips. The name "Bijou", which is French for "jewel," was taken from the song "My Petite Bijou" by Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. She was a child Equestrienne champion.

Completed but not yet released is her starring role in Dark Streets, and she's also reported to be starring in a remake of the 1974 film, It's Alive.
