“My heart is with Halyna.”
Alec Baldwin’s wife Hilaria is the latest family member to address his accidental shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on set of the movie Rust.
Hutchins, the movie’s Director of Photography, died on Thursday after Alec discharged a prop gun that contained a live round.
Court documents state that an assistant director had unknowingly handed him the loaded weapon and told him it was safe for use moments prior.
Hilaria Baldwin has now addressed the “tragic accident.” Taking to Instagram on Sunday, she wrote:
“My heart is with Halyna. Her husband. Her son. Their family and loved ones. And my Alec.
“It’s said, ‘There are no words’ because it’s impossible to express the shock and heartache of such a tragic accident. Heartbreak. Loss. Support.”

A number of other Baldwins have previously addressed the tragedy, in which Rust director Joel Souza was also injured.
Alec’s brother Stephen asked his followers for “prayers” for all involved.

Stephen’s daughter, Hailey Bieber, wrote on her Instagram Story: “Sending all my love to the family of Halyna Hutchins. This is a truly unimaginable and devastating tragedy.
“My thoughts are also with Joel Souza as he recovers. I am absolutely heartbroken for everyone involved.”
Alec’s eldest daughter Ireland, who he shares with ex-wife Kim Basinger, also took to her Instagram Story, writing: “My love and support go to Halyna Hutchins’ family and friends. Sending healing thoughts to Joel Souza. And wishing I could hug my dad extra tight today.”
The model also said she was taking a social media break after tearing into republican media personality Candace Owens, who said the shooting was “poetic justice” for Alec’s impersonations of Donald Trump on SNL.
Via Instagram Stories, Ireland fired back: “You are the most disgusting, cancerous human being I’ve ever come across. Regardless of your foul opinions most of the time, the fact that you would disrespect the life of a woman who was accidentally and tragically killed… Shame on you.”
She added: “Yup… I’m going to go ahead and take that Instagram break. I am ashamed to breath the same air as this woman.”
However, she later followed up to say the pair had had a “real conversation” and shared a screenshot of them thanking each other for the chat.
