A GoFundMe fundraiser for Halyna Hutchins has raised more than $225,000 for the late cinematographer’s family.
According to the GoFundMe page for Hutchins, $227,000 has been raised in only five days. This is more than $200,000 of the fundraiser’s original $10,000 goal.
“Local 600 mourns the passing of Halyna Hutchins, a Director of Photography who died from injuries sustained on the set of Rust in New Mexico, on Thursday, October 21,” the page’s summary reads. “Halyna is survived by her husband, Matthew, and her 9-year-old son. In memory of Halyna, Local 600 has set up this GoFundMe page to help raise funds for her family at this difficult time. We encourage you to donate if you can.”
As Breaking Celebrity News has been reporting, this comes nearly one week after the horrible accident on the set of Rust took Hutchins’ life when Alec Baldwin accidently fired a loaded prop gun that he thought was “cold” – or not loaded. Hutchins was ultimately shot and killed while director Joel Souza was injured and rushed to the nearest hospital.
Even though it has only been a week since the tragedy occurred, there have been new developments everyday while an investigation is underway regarding just what exactly happened that led to this nightmarish situation and should be held responsible for it happening.
