After the tragic accident on the set of “Rust”, Alec Baldwin’s wife got in touch. She thinks of the deceased and their family.
After an accident on the set of the western “Rust”, in which a camerawoman was killed, Hilaria Baldwin (37) is now making her first public statement about the tragedy. She writes on Instagramthat she is in the heart of Halyna, her husband and son, her family and loved ones – just like “my Alec”.
While filming in the US state of New Mexico, a shot was apparently accidentally fired a few days ago when her husband, actor Alec Baldwin (63), was rehearsing a prop weapon that was handed to him. This emerges from a questioning of the director Joel Souza (48) by the police, which is available to the US broadcaster “NBC”, among others. Halyna Hutchins, 42, and Souza were met on the set. The camerawoman died as a result of her injuries, Souza is, according to the production, on the mend.
A tragic accident
It has already been said that there are “no words” for such a tragedy, continues Baldwin, “for it is impossible to express the shock and grief of such a tragic accident”. Her husband had previously spoken on Twitter. “There are no words to express my shock and grief over the tragic accident in which Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and colleague we hold dear, was killed,” he wrote.
In addition, the actor had stated, among other things, that he was cooperating with the police in the context of the investigation. In a press conference planned for next Wednesday, those responsible would like to inform about the case.
