The father of late "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, Anatoly Androsovych, made it clear Sunday that he doesn't hold actor Alec Baldwin 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," Anatoly said as per Deadline. "But I don't hold Alec Baldwin responsible."

However, Anatoly noted that it is the "responsibility" of those who were handling the guns at that time, adding, "[Halyna's son] has been very badly affected — he is lost without his mother."

Meanwhile, the cinematographer's younger sister, Svetlana Androsovych, wondered how a team of professionals could allow such "negligence" and questioned the investigation.

"How was this negligence allowed by such a team of professionals? This is just such an absolutely absurd coincidence," the outlet quoted her as saying. "I don’t know where the investigation will lead, but there are so many guesses."

Svetlana further noted that only God knows what happened on the sets and it has been "incredibly hard to live through it."

"The only thing we want right now is to be there with my mum next to Halyna's husband and their son to make sure he feels our support," she added.

The incident took place when Baldwin discharged a "prop firearm" on the New Mexico set of his upcoming movie, "Rust," on Oct. 21. The 63-year-old actor broke his silence on Oct. 22.

On Twitter, Baldwin wrote, "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."

According to the actor, he is already in touch with the cinematographer's husband and is offering his support to him and his family.

Halyna's husband, Matt Hutchins, also took to Twitter Saturday to share a photo of his late wife and their 9-year-old son, Andros.

"Our loss is enormous, and we ask that the media please respect my family's privacy as we process our grief," he wrote in the caption. "We thank everyone for sharing images and stories of her life."

The filming of the movie has been shut down following the tragic incident
