Hilaria Baldwin is speaking out about how grateful she is for people who are reaching out with support to her and husband Alec Baldwin.

On October 21, while on the set of his new movie Rust, the 63-year-old actor fired a revolver containing a live round. The shot accidentally killed 42-year-old cinematographer Hutchins and injured 48-year-old director Joel Souza.

The actor has since expressed his heartbreak over the tragedy, and his wife Hilaria has been a shoulder for him to cry on ever since.

The mom of six, 37, took to Instagram to thank a complete stranger for their kind words in the aftermath of such a tragedy.

Hilaria thanked the "people who stop my husband to say they are thinking about him" in a lengthy caption alongside a picture of the emotional exchange.

"All of these messages are life-changing for him," she wrote. "And also for our whole family. A quick act of kindness means the world to us."

Alongside the message, Hilaria shared a photo of Alec standing in the road and speaking with a person who appears to be driving a delivery truck.

In the caption, she went on to explain that the individual had stopped the couple to say they'd been "praying" for Alec.

"Grateful to this superhuman who said he was praying for him today, as he was driving by," she continued. "Didn't get your name in our split moment encounter, but you are a special soul with a huge heart."

Alec also chimed in, writing in the comments: "I am truly grateful, whoever you are."

Last week, Hilaria highlighted some of the challenges that she and husband Alec have faced since the fatal on-set shooting that took place in October.

"Now, my husband is suffering from PTSD right now. It's something that's not just from what happened recently, but he's been suffering from this for a very, very, very long time," Hilaria stated, adding that the media and "trolls" want to "poke at him."

"And they want to upset him. And then they want to create news about this," she added.
