The Los Angeles Times has revealed what cinematographer Halyna Hutchins reportedly said moments after being fatally shot.

The 42-year-old died after being fatally wounded in New Mexico while working on the movie set of Alec Baldwin's upcoming movie, Rust. On October 21, the 63-year-old actor was handed a functional prop firearm and discharged a round that injured director Joel Souza and fatally wounded Hutchins.

Now, the LA Times has revealed what Hutchins said moments after being fatally wounded by the gunshot - based on interviews, emails, and messages with 14 crew members who worked on the movie.

According to crew members, prior to the functional prop firearm being discharged, Baldwin was preparing to film a scene in which he plays a hardened Kansas outlaw in the 1880s.

The LA Times reports that no projectile or gunpowder was supposed to be in the prop gun.

After allowing the camera crew to prepare their angles, Baldwin allegedly demonstrated what he was planning to do when cameras started to roll. However, the firearm was discharged and Souza and Hutchins were shot.

Immediately after, Baldwin reportedly kept repeating the words: "What the f*** just happened?"

Souza allegedly screamed: "What the f*** was that? That burns!"

And after hearing a boom operator say, "Oh, that was no good", Hutchins reportedly replied: "That was no good. That was no good at all."

After being shot at approximately 1:50PM, Hutchins was airlifted to a nearby hospital, but sadly died of her injuries. Souza, 48, was treated for his shoulder injury at Christus St. Vincent's Regional Medical Center, and has since been released.

A police investigation into the tragic incident remains ongoing, but over the weekend, Baldwin spoke out about the cinematographer's death for the first time on camera.

Speaking to paparazzi on Saturday in Manchester, Vermont, the actor revealed that he could not comment on the investigation, but did tell reporters: "She was my friend, she was my friend.

"The day I arrived in Santa Fe to start shooting, I took her to dinner with Joel [Souza], the director. We were a very, very well-oiled crew shooting a film together, and then this horrible event happened."

Baldwin also revealed that he is in contact with Hutchins' husband and nine-year-old son.

"We are in constant contact with him because we're very worried about his family and his kid," the actor said.

Since the incident, both Alec and Hilaria have been staying in Manchester, Vermont. She recently told Page Six that she had taken her husband there "to mourn" and "to take care of him and his mental health".
