But this past year, things have been not quite so great for the Baldwins…

It began when Alec Baldwin was given a “prop” gun that mistakenly contained live rounds.

The sixty-three-year-old was using a gun prop on the set of the American Western film, Rust, when he fired a round of blanks that killed cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, as well as wounded the director of the film, Joel Souza.

Souza was immediately rushed to hospital where he received treatment for his injuries.

He was taken to Christus St Vincent Regional Medical Center for further examinations.

Hutchins was taken to the University of New Mexico Hospital, but died when she got there.

The forty-two-year-old was transported to the location via helicopter but before she could undergo life-saving treatment, she succumbed to her injuries.

Rust was being filmed at the Bonanza Creek ranch just outside of Santa Fe when the incident occured on October 21.

Santa Fe police deputies were called to the scene after Baldwin had misfired the prop during a scene.

Since then, Baldwin has gone through a lot of torment over the incident.

Many called out the actor for his actions, whether they were an accident or not.

The events of that day were truly tragic.

And it has been an extremely difficult few months for all involved in the heartbreaking situation.

But now, Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have found a “bright spot” after “many ups and downs over the past few years.”
