Hilaria Baldwin says she and her husband Alec Baldwin are “not OK” following the Rust shooting.
The 38-year-old teared up as she told Extra no one could have imagined the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, who was fatally shot on the set of the film on Oct. 21 last year after a prop gun loaded with live ammunition was accidentally discharged in the hands of 64-year-old Alec.

“We can’t be OK,” she said. “No one is OK. It was and is a tragedy that nobody could ever have imagined.”
Hilaria was seen in a preview released on Friday of the full interview with Extra, dressed in black.
When asked how the Baldwin family is coping following Hutchins’ death, she paused before adding as her voice cracked: “We’re not OK.”
Alec was involved in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Hutchins’ family, which included her husband, Matthew, before both parties settled in October.
“Though by no means comparable, Baldwin must live with the immense grief, and the resulting emotional, physical, and financial toll, caused by the fact that Cross-Defendants’ negligent conduct, assurances, and supervision put a loaded weapon in his hand and led him, Hutchins, and everyone else on set to believe that his directed use of the weapon was safe.”
In July, mother-of-seven Hilaria backed her husband by posting online pleading for less “darkness and negativity” and said it was “now more than ever” easier to “slander people and cherry pick and piece together strands taken out of context, ‘opinions’, or complete fabrications.”
