Hailey Baldwin Bieber has broken her silence after her uncle Alec Baldwin discharged a “prop firearm” Thursday on the set of his movie “Rust,” accidentally killing the film’s director of photography and wounding its director.

The 24-year-old model took to social media Saturday to address the “devastating tragedy.” She also sent her love to the family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed in the incident.

“Sending all my love to the family of Halyna Hutchins. This is a truly unimaginable and devastating tragedy,” she wrote in an Instagram Story, according to Page Six.

“My thoughts are also with [director] Joel Souza as he recovers. I am absolutely heartbroken for everyone involved,” Justin Bieber’s wife added.

Deadline broke the news about the fatal incident on the set of the Western-themed film at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Thursday. Sources told the outlet at the time that a man and woman were struck by a prop gun loaded with blanks while a scene involving Baldwin was being filmed.

Names of the people involved in the incident were initially withheld by authorities, but it was later revealed that it was Souza and Hutchins who were injured by the prop gun used by Baldwin, 63.

Hutchins was airlifted to the University of New Mexico Hospital as she reportedly needed stomach surgery, but she succumbed to her injuries at the facility.

On the other hand, Souza was rushed to the Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and was released a day after receiving treatment for his shoulder injury.

Baldwin was “devastated” after accidentally injuring the director and killing the cinematographer, sources told New York Post Friday.

“Alec is absolutely devastated, distraught, in shock and in disbelief how this could have happened,” one insider was quoted as saying by the outlet.

The “Motherless Brooklyn” star took to Twitter the same day to address the fatal shooting that is still being investigated by authorities.

“There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours,” Baldwin wrote.

The actor continued, “I’m fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna.”

No charges have been filed and no arrests have been made thus far in connection with the incident. Film production has since been shut down.
