Stony faced Hilaria Baldwin hours after husband Alec charged with involuntary ... trends now
Alec Baldwin's wife Hilaria was seen on Thursday afternoon looking stony faced, hours after her husband learnt he was to be charged with involuntary manslaughter for the on-set shooting on his film Rust.
Hilaria, 39, was accompanied by several of their seven children as she arrived at their Manhattan apartment.
Alec was nowhere to be seen. His lawyers have said he plans to contest the charges, insisting that he cannot be held responsible for the prop guns on set, which were the responsibility of armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.
She has also been charged, the Santa Fe district attorney announced on Thursday morning.

The film's assistant director, Dave Halls, pleaded guilty to negligence and received a six-month suspended sentence.
Mary Carmack-Altwies, the Santa Fe prosecutor, tore into him Baldwin while announcing the charges, saying 'an actor doesn't get free pass' as she insisted he did pull the trigger on the gun that killed Hutchins.
Baldwin has vowed to fight the charges, calling them a 'terrible miscarriage of justice'.
Despite prosecutors announcing the charges, it remains unclear how or why live rounds ever made it onto the set, and whether Baldwin pulled the trigger. He insists he did not - and has refuted an FBI report which claims he must have.
He and Gutierrez-Reed are facing a maximum of 18 months in prison if convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
If they're also convicted of a firearm enhancement on that charge, they'll face a mandatory five-year prison sentence.
In a statement, Baldwin's attorney said: 'This decision distorts Halyna Hutchins' tragic death and represents a terrible miscarriage of justice. Mr. Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun — or anywhere on the movie set.

'He relied on the professionals with whom he worked, who assured him the gun did not have live rounds. We will fight these charges, and we will win.'
Carmack-Altwies told CNN they concluded Baldwin did pull the trigger - and that he ran a 'fast and loose set' that was plagued with safety issues.
'There was such a lack of safety and safety standards on that set. There were live rounds on set, they were mixed in with dummy rounds.
'Nobody was checking those or at least they weren't checking them consistently.
'They somehow got loaded into a gun, handed off to Alec Baldwin, he didn't check it, he didn't do what he was supposed to do to make sure he was safe or make sure anyone else was safe.
'He pointed the gun at
