The niece of actress Tamera Mowry-Housley and her husband, former Fox News correspondent Adam Housley, was killed in the mass shooting late Wednesday night at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California.

The couple confirmed on Thursday that their niece, 18-year-old Alaina Housley, was one of the 12 victims of the shooting. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Housley said she was "an incredible, beautiful girl who didn't hurt anybody, and was excited to go to Italy for a program overseas." Her death is "just senseless," he added.

Alaina Housley was a freshman at Pepperdine University. Mowry-Housley starred alongside her twin sister, Tia Mowry, on Sister, Sister, and is now a host on The Real.
