Alec Baldwin's wife, Hilaria Baldwin, has broken her silence on the tragic passing of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who died after being accidentally shot by the actor on the set of the western film.
"My heart is with Halyna. Her husband. Her son. Their family and loves ones. And my Alec," the 37-year-old mother of six wrote on Instagram Monday morning.
"It's said, 'There are no words' because it's impossible to express the shock and heartache of such a tragic accident," she added. "Heartbreak. Loss. Support."
Hilaria was instantly flooded with an onslaught of support in the comments section, including this reply from Katie Couric: "Holding Halyna, her family and Alec and his family in out hearts."
On Thursday of last week, Alec pulled the trigger of a prop gun on the New Mexico set of his latest movie, leaving the 42-year-old director of photography dead. The film's director, 48-year-old director Joel Souza, was hospitalized with injuries to his shoulder but has since been released.
Following the tragedy, Alec made a brief statement on Instagram.
"There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother, and deeply admired colleague of ours," wrote the 63-year-old actor on Friday, adding that he's "fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family."
