Fisher's photo appeared to show her in costume for the Western film, which is set in the 1880s.

The actress smiled while wrapping her arms around Halyna, who was dressed in casual contemporary clothing 

'Rest in Paradise Dear Halyna — I loved watching you work,' Fisher began. 'Your intense focus and your vibrant command of the room.

'I asked you to stand next to me in our #IAsolidarity #RUST cast&crew photo because I wanted to make sure you were front and center, seeing as there are so few non-male directors of photography,' Fisher continued, referencing a show of support for the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees union (IATSE), which has been in the process of negotiating for a new contract with major film studios.

Fisher added that her classic Western film Unforgiven, which starred and was directed by her then-partner Clint Eastwood, was on her mind after the tragic accident.

'There is a line from #Unforgiven that maybe someday I will have the courage to put here,' she wrote. 'It pretty much sums it all up.' 

'In the meantime, my prayers are with your family and with all who love and miss you.'

Fisher concluded by tagging Hutchins' Instagram account, which featured posts from the set of Rust, included a self-shot video of Hutchins riding a horse during some downtime. 

'See the beauty of her vision,' Fisher instructed her followers.

Hutchins was shot and killed on Thursday during rehearsals for Rust when Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on set.

The gun has been described as having a 'live' round, though that doesn't necessarily indicate that it was loaded with a bullet, as other forms of debris in the gun could have been fired out of it.

The cinematographer was struck by the shot, as was the film's director. Hutchins was airlifted to the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque and was later pronounced dead, while Souza was rushed to a nearby hospital. 

Fisher shared Friday on Twitter that 'Director Joel Souza told me he’s out of hospital.'

According to on-set witnesses on set, Baldwin was stunned after firing the fatal round and asked: 'Why was I handed a hot gun?'
