Halyna was known as a cinematographer in Hollywood’s film industry. She sadly died at the age of 42 after a prop gun, which was unknowingly loaded, being held by Alec Baldwin accidentally went off and struck her at a ranch in New Mexico on Oct. 21, 2021. She was airlifted to a hospital but died from her injuries. Director Joel Souza was also injured but not fatally.

Halyna was sometimes in the spotlight when she attended industry events, and she even helped create short films that received praise over the years. She was originally from the Ukraine but had moved to America to work as a cinematorgapher and spoke both Russian and English.

After her death, there was an outpouring of support from actors, crew members, and fans of movies and it brought up the question of gun safety on movie sets. Alec also spoke out about the tragedy and was reportedly ‘inconsolable’ after the accident occurred.
