ollywood star Alec Baldwin said his "heart is broken" Friday after he fatally shot a cinematographer with a prop gun in a shocking tragedy on the set of a Western he was filming in New Mexico.
The US actor said he was fully cooperating with a police investigation "to address how this tragedy occurred."
"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," he tweeted.
He added: "My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna."
The rest of the cast and crew of Rust -- where Baldwin is playing the lead in a 19th century film about an accidental killing -- were "devastated" by the incident, they said in a statement to US media, and production has been suspended.
Hutchins and director Joel Souza "were shot when a prop firearm was discharged by Alec Baldwin," the sheriff in Santa Fe said in a statement.
Hutchins, 42, was transported to hospital by helicopter but died of her wounds, while Souza, 48, was taken by ambulance and was receiving treatment.
