While many questions have arisen ever since regarding the accident, especially about the safety measures at the production scene, Baldwin took to his social media platforms to put his statement out for the public. Now, according to a report, Baldwin has been "hysterical and absolutely inconsolable for hours."
"[Baldwin] is someone who really deeply cares, so he can be very hard on himself," the report stated. "That's true in general, in situations nowhere near as serious as this. But in this situation, it's a whole other level because of the loss of life involved," it added.
Reportedly, the actor, 63, has taken some time out "to be with his family."
