Alec Baldwin's Wife Hilaria Breaks Silence On 'Rust' Accident: 'Impossible To Express The Shock'
Hilaria Baldwin finally broke her silence Monday, almost a week after a gun used by her husband, Alec Baldwin, as a prop on the set of "Rust" killed one crew member and injured another.
The 37-year-old yoga instructor took to Instagram Monday to share a condolence message to the family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins - who died after Alec discharged a "prop firearm" on the set on Oct. 21.
"My heart is with Halyna," Hilaria wrote. "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 shock and heartache of such a tragic accident. Heartbreak. Loss. Support."
Many celebs expressed their support for Hutchins' family and also the Baldwins.
Actress Melanie Griffith commented, "Sending love to all. Holding you all in my heart," while journalist Katie Couric wrote, "Holding Halyna, her family and Alec and his family in out hearts."
TV Producer Charlie Ebersol's wife, Melody McCloskey, noted that it was "such a tragic accident" and wrote, "Sending love to all involved." Actor Leslie Jordan commented, "Our hearts are broken along with yours."
The cinematographer's father, Anatoly Androsovych, earlier clarified that he doesn't hold Alec responsible for the death of his daughter.
"We still can't believe Halyna is dead and her mother is going out of her mind with grief," Androsovych said Sunday, Deadline reported. "But I don't hold Alec Baldwin responsible."
The father blamed those who were handling the guns at the time, adding, "[Halyna's son] has been very badly affected — he is lost without his mother."
The 63-year-old actor spoke out a day after the fatal shooting incident.
"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," Alec wrote.
He added he is in "touch" with the cinematographer's husband and is offering his support to him.
"Rust" filming has been shut down following the shooting incident. The movie, directed by Joel Souza, also stars Jensen Ackles, Travis Fimmel and Frances Fisher.
