Hilaria Baldwin addresses the impact of trauma in social media post

Hilaria Baldwin has taken to Instagram to reassure fans that her family is doing well and address the impacts of trauma following Alec Baldwin’s accidental shooting incident on the film set of Rust.

The 37-year-old author headed to Vermont with her actor husband, along with their six children, after Baldwin allegedly fired an accidental shot from a prop gun killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.

The post includes a video compilation of the family spending time together, particularly with their two youngest children, in the wake of the tragedy. Hilaria captioned the post, “Checking in and sharing a few moments. Being together. I know you worry. We love you and miss you”.

Baldwin and second wife Hilaria, 37, have had six children together, since getting hitched in 2012. Baldwin also has a grown daughter, Ireland, 25, from his first marriage to 80s icon Kim Basinger. In her recent post, Hilaria also shares a number of quotes related to the impacts of trauma and the reluctance of trauma survivors typically to seek help.

Hilaria has recently addressed her husband’s mental health and possible PTSD, telling the New York Post, “Alec had a really traumatic thing happen”.

“I brought (Alec) up here because we have to mourn Halyna’s death,” she said.

“I am trying to limit the PTSD.

“You look at what happens to soldiers and police officers when something like this happens, it’s traumatic. We just came up here for quiet.”

Hilaria’s comments on her husband’s well-being come as the Rust film set is rocked by another tragic incident after a crew member was bitten by a highly venomous spider while clearing the set in New Mexico.

Lamp operator and pipe rigger, Jason Miller, was packing the set down when he was bitten by a brown recluse spider and may lose his arm.

According to a Just Giving fundraiser page, Miller “has been hospitalised and endured multiple surgeries”, as reported by Sky News.

“It will be a very long road to recovery for Jason if the medical team is able to save his arm.

“If under worse circumstances he loses his arm, this is a life-changing and devastating event for Jason and his family.”
