Alec Baldwin has paid tribute to the late Halyna Hutchins, one year after her death.
Rust cinematographer Hutchins died in October 2021 after Baldwin accidentally discharged a gun on the film’s set in New Mexico.
Hutchins, who was 42, was hit by a live round from the gun alongside the movie’s director Joel Souza.
Souza survived and recovered from his injuries but Hutchins was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Paying tribute to her today on Instagram, Baldwin shared a picture of Hutchins behind a camera and wrote: ‘One year ago today…’
Actor Leslie Jordan commented: ‘Stay strong my friend. Thinking about you and all those effected by this terrible accident,’ with many others echoing his sentiment.

In February, Hutchins’ family including husband Matthew Hutchins, filed a lawsuit against Baldwin and others involved in Rust, accusing them of reckless behaviour and cost-cutting measures.
After reaching a settlement with the late filmmaker’s family, Baldwin wrote in an Instagram post earlier this month: ‘We are pleased to announce today the settlement of the civil case filed on behalf of the family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

‘Throughout this difficult process, everyone has maintained the specific desire to do what is best for Halyna’s son.
‘We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the resolution of this tragic and painful situation.’

It has since been reported that production is set to resume on the film Rust, however it won’t take place in New Mexico as it originally had.
According to insiders, filming is likely to take place in California instead, because it would be ‘too emotionally difficult’ for the cast and crew to return to the location where Hutchins died in October 2021.
