Hilaria Baldwin says her heart is with 'her Alec' after set shooting

Hilaria Baldwin has paid tribute to Halyna Hutchins, the woman her husband Alec accidentally killed last week in an on-set tragedy while shooting his new movie Rust. 

In an Instagram post on Monday, Hilaria wrote: 'My heart is with Halyna. 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 the shock and heartache of such a tragic accident. Heartbreak. Loss. Support.' 

She was inundated with support from fellow celebrities like Katie Couric and Melanie Griffith. 

Alec, 63, accidentally killed the 42-year-old cinematographer on the set of their movie Rust in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Thursday. 

Baldwin was rehearsing drawing his gun across his body when it went off. He thought the gun was loaded with blanks, after being told 'cold gun' as Assistant Director Dave Halls gave it to him. 

There are now questions over how live ammunition made its way onto the set.

It's believed Hilaria - with whom he shares six kids - flew to be with him in New Mexico in the early hours of Friday morning. 

The 37-year-old has not been seen publicly, but Baldwin was seen in Santa Fe on Sunday, embracing Hutchins' widower Matthew. 

The incident has been unanimously described as an accident but many in the film and TV industry have started pointing fingers at who is to blame.

Search warrants reveal that Halls, and everyone else on the set, was unaware the gun he handed Baldwin contained live ammunition. 

He had declared it a 'cold' weapon, meaning it was loaded only with blanks.

As police investigate what exactly happened in the moments leading up to the tragic accident, pyrotechnicians and prop masters who worked with Halls on other projects told DailyMail.com about their concerns about him. 

One crew member, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of being blacklisted, told DailyMail.com that he’d worked with Halls on two similarly low-budget sets in Los Angeles in spring 2019, one where a revolver and Glock were used, and another involving shotguns.  

Each morning they’d have a meeting to discuss the weapons and other safety issues, an industry standard. But he said Halls didn’t think they were needed.

'He was very flippant about my insistence on having a safety meeting about the weapons, on both of the sets,' said the crew member, who asked to use the pseudonym
