The family of Halyna Hutchins, the late cinematographer who was killed on the set of the Alec Baldwin movie Rust last year, is trapped in Ukraine amid Russia's invasion, her husband says.

Halyna Hutchins' widower, Matt, told TMZ on Friday the late cinematographer's family members have been trapped in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv in the wake of Russia's invasion of the country. "Halyna's mother knows she cannot leave safely and is instead continuing to work in the same hospital where she's been a nurse for more than a decade, and Halyna's father is hunkering down too," the report says.
