Hilaria Baldwinis grateful for the support she and husbandAlec Baldwinhave received.
The mom of six, 37,shared a messageon Instagram on Tuesday, thanking the “people who stop my husband to say they are thinking about him” in the aftermath of the fatalRustshooting that took the life of cinematographerHalyna Hutchins.
“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.
Last week, Hilaria highlighted some of the challenges that she and husbandAlechave 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.

Earlier in her lengthy statement, Hilaria touched on the dark side of living in the spotlight as a public figure, telling her followers that it’s difficult to just “ignore” negative commentary.
“The issue is, if you don’t say anything, you’re giving them the space to speak for you, and your silence sometimes speaks enough to them to be able to commandeer your story,” Hilaria continued, adding that “it’s tricky because you don’t want to be constantly responding to every single crazy, crazy thing” that people are saying.

“I’m at a place where I’m tired of not talking, and I want to get to a place where I can use my voice to show you that this is not just a famous thing,” Hilaria explained, adding, “Everybody has trolls. Everybody has people who want to tell you whether you’re good or bad or what you think or what you feel.”
Hilaria has been outspokenly supportive of her husband following theRusttragedy. Ahead of hisfirst sit-down interviewwith ABC’s George Stephanopoulos,she posted a picture of the pairon Instagram with the caption, “One foot in front of the other.”
Shortly after news of the shooting made headlines in October,Hilaria also posted a pictureof her and Alec’s hands intertwined, writing, “I love you and I’m here.”
