Lawyer for 'Rust' AD refuses to answer if he handed gun to Alec Baldwin: LIVE UPDATES

Hilaria Baldwin revealed that the family cat has been found after going missing.

Hilaria Baldwin, the wife of actor Alec Baldwin, has revealed that the family cat has been "found."

The 37-year-old shared a photo of the cat on Instagram to thank those that helped find the missing feline, adding that he "seems to have a broken leg, but he is alert."

"I won’t mention you because the paparazzi and tabloid media are calling every single connection to us, and I don’t want you to be harassed too, in their frenzy to make more money," she jabbed in the photo caption. "As I write this, there are people, taking my picture, through the trees of the property we are staying at."

Furthermore, she stated that paparazzi "have not respected our ask to have space, even after the interview we pulled over to do the other day."

"We have been chased around in cars—with our children," she continued. "Several scary moments…this is dangerous. Please listen."

"Rust" assistant director David Halls broke his silence following the Oct. 21 fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins. The incident also injured director Joel Souza.

“Halyna Hutchins was not just one of the most talented people I’ve worked with, but also a friend,” Halls said in a statement to the New York Post. “I’m shocked and saddened by her death. It’s my hope that this tragedy prompts the industry to reevaluate its values and practices to ensure no one is harmed through the creative process again.”

Halls added that he’s been “overwhelmed by the love and support." Halls said, “my thoughts are with all who knew and loved Halyna.”

On Oct. 21, Baldwin was rehearsing a scene for the Western-genre film when he discharged a firearm he believed was unloaded and the projectile struck and ultimately killed the cinematographer. Halls, who handed the gun to the actor, also believed the gun to be unloaded, per investigators, and told Baldwin and the crew that there were no ammo or blanks in the firearm.

Alec Baldwin addressed photographers in Vermont amid the ongoing "Rust" movie shooting investigation on Saturday.

Fox News spoke to two experts, an attorney and a PR crisis manager, who weighed in on Baldwin's presser and how it might affect his image. 

"Obviously, it wasn't pre-planned," said Lara Yeretsian, a criminal defense attorney based on the West Coast, who is not involved in the case. "It's very raw, very real, very emotional. It's not necessarily what a lawyer would want the client to do. But can I tell you it just shows how upset he is, how this has affected his life, how he's lost a friend. It's real and harrowing."

Some of Halyna Hutchins' final words following the accidental shooting incident involving her, Alec Baldwin and "Rust" director Joel Souza have been revealed.

According to a comprehensive report from the Los Angeles Times, which interviewed 14 "Rust" crew members, nine of which were present on the day Hutchins died, she immediately began speaking with crew members who were tending to her after the bullet went through her midsection and landed in Souza’s shoulder. 

According to the report, a boom operator looked at Hutchins after she fell to the ground and said: "Oh, that was no good."

A group of leading on-set armorers and weapons masters working within the motion picture industry are outraged over "the poor choices that were made" on the set of "Rust."

Their comments come after Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said 500 rounds of ammunition – a mix of blanks, dummy rounds and suspected live rounds – were found while searching the set of the Western film. Souza, 48, who was standing behind Hutchins, 42, told investigators there should never be live rounds present near a scene.

"Foremost, we offer our condolences to the family and friends of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who tragically and needlessly lost her life on-set in New Mexico on October 21," read a lengthy statement from the collection of armorers and weapons masters sent to Fox News.

"Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins final words revealed after she was fatally shot by Alec Baldwin (Getty Images)

The final words of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins have been revealed after she was fatally shot by Alec Baldwin on the set of the Western movie.

"That was no good. That was no good at all," the 42-year-old said according to the Los Angeles Times after being hit by a projectile discharged from a gun held by the actor.

Baldwin was told the gun was "cold" or unloaded by the film's first assistant director, Dave Halls, but it actually contained live ammunition. Director Joel Souza was also hit in the shoulder but is recovering.

Crew members told The Los Angeles Times that there were three accidental discharges of weapons on the set of "Rust" prior to the death of Halyna Hutchins.

Alec Baldwin's stunt double reportedly accidentally fired a blank round after being told the gun was "cold," a term used to denote that there is no projectile in the weapon. Another incident reportedly involved a young woman from the props department shooting herself in the foot. However, that round was also a blank so it's unclear if there was any serious injury that resulted from the mishap.

The reports back up what armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed said in a statement through her attorneys.

Fox News met with writer, filmmaker and Santa Fe Community College professor Milton Riess, who has worked on nearly 300 film and television productions in his some 40 years in the industry.

In just one of Riess’ many jobs in the world of cast and crew, he worked as a Hollywood production "fixer" — going undercover at various productions ripe with attrition —  which included high turnover by crew members quitting or being unhappy in some capacity and reporting back to the showrunners or the networks about suggestions he felt they needed in order to change the morale and fix their crew issues. 

"Maybe it's cynicism," he said of the incident on the set of 'Rust' involving Alec Baldwin. "It shocked the hell out of me. I was depressed. I was pi--ed off but really, when it comes right down to it, it didn't surprise me."

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin celebrated Halloween on Sunday night with their six children, nearly two weeks after an on-set shooting that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead. 

"Parenting through this has been an intense experience, to say the least," Hilaria wrote in an Instagram caption.

"Today, we rallied to give them a holiday."

The couple welcomed their sixth child, María Lucía Victoria, earlier this year. Alec is also the father to his 26-year-old daughter Ireland.

Alec Baldwin returned to somewhat normal Twitter behavior this week for the first time since an on-set shooting he was involved in left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead. 

Baldwin issued a statement the day after the incident noting that he is cooperating with authorities as they investigate and offered his condolences to Hutchins’ family. Since then, he was completely silent on social media as he and his wife Hilaria traveled to New England.
