Alec Baldwin is a well known name in the showbiz world and is not the only famous person in his family.
The 63-year-old star issued a statement on Friday following the tragic incident which occurred after he fired a prop gun which killed the crew member on the Bonanza Creek Ranch while shooting film Rust.
Santa Fe County New Mexico Sheriff confirmed that the 68-year-old shot two people on a movie set with a prop firearm which would usually be loaded with blanks.
The director of photography, Halyna Hutchins, 42, and director Joel Souza, 48, were both shot.

Director Joel Souza was discharged and safely left the hospital following the incident in the early hours of Friday morning.
The Baldwin’s family life has rarely been far from the headlines and his brothers are widely known for their own work.
Alec is the eldest of the four famous Baldwin brothers.
He also has two sisters, 56-year-old Jane Sasso and Elizabeth Keuchler, 66.
The sibling’s parents are Carol Newcomb Baldwin and father Alexander Rae Baldwin, Jr, who raised them in a Catholic household.
