Hailey Baldwin is “heartbroken” after the death of Halyna Hutchins due to her uncle, Alec Baldwin, accidentally firing a loaded prop gun while filming a movie in New Mexico on Thursday.
“Sending all my love to the family of Halyna Hutchins. This is a truly unimaginable and devastating tragedy,” Stephen Baldwin’s daughter, 24, wrote on her Instagram story Saturday.
“My thoughts are also with Joel Souza as he recovers,” the model added. “I am absolutely heartbroken for everyone involved.”
The tragic incident occurred when Baldwin, 63, was handed a “prop gun” while filming “Rust.” The gun accidentally discharged killing the movie’s cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, and injuring the director, Joel Souza.
Hutchins was airlifted to the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque where she later succumbed to her injures. Souza was also rushed to the hospital and treated for his injuries before being released the next day.
