Alec Baldwin expressed his “appreciation” after his involuntary manslaughter case in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was dismissed. The actor, 66, took to Instagram on Saturday to speak to those who have supported him – nearly three years after a prop gun Baldwin was holding went off during a rehearsal of the film Rust in 2021, killing Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. “There are too many people who have supported me to thank just now,” Baldwin captioned his Instagram post, which featured a photo of him sitting inside the New Mexico courtroom.
“To all of you, you will never know how much I appreciate your kindness toward my family.” In the comments section, fans and friends of Baldwin offered encouraging words for the 30 Rock star. “We love you,” wrote comedian Amy Sedaris, along with three red heart emojis.
“Heal. Then roar into life again,” said former Access Hollywood host Billy Bush. Baldwin’s eldest daughter Ireland Baldwin shared her own tribute to her father following Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer’s dismissal on Friday.
The 28-year-old model, whom Baldwin shares with ex-wife Kim Basinger, posted a throwback photo of herself with the Beetlejuice actor on Instagram. The image showed Baldwin lying on a couch with a young Ireland sitting on his lap as the father smiled at his daughter, cracking a silly expression. She simply captioned the post with a black heart emoji.
