The family outing comes days after Hilaria opened up about the tough discussions she’s had with her kids following Alec’s tragicRustshooting that resulted in the death of cinematographerHalyna Hutchins.
Just one day before husbandAlec’s sit-down interviewwith ABC News' George Stephanopoulos aired — Hilaria opened up on her Instagram Story about how “heart wrenching” the talks with their children have been since the fatal shooting took place in October.
“I’ve had to have some conversations, explaining recent events to my oldest children recently,” Hilaria began. “You can imagine how heart wrenching it has been. I’m grateful to The Child Mind Institute, for guiding me. I’m grateful to my friend, Anne, for encouraging me to reach out to them.”
“Sometimes, I just freeze, knowing I’m the adult, who must guide my family, but so lost as what the right direction is,” she continued. “There is no manual we are provided. Sometimes I catch myself, surprised that I’m in the adult position and I’m like: shouldn’t I know what to do??”

“You have no idea how much all of your kindness, love, and support mean. Yes, you who are reading this. I know how lucky I am to have you,” she concluded.
TheRustshooting occurred Oct. 21 on the Santa Fe, New Mexico, set. During a rehearsal, assistant directorDavid Hallsunknowingly handed Alec a gun that had been loadedwith at least one live round. Thinking it was only loaded with blanks, Halls shouted “cold gun” to indicate it was safe to use, according to a Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Officesearch warrant affidavit.
The Colt .45 revolver fired as Alec rehearsed the scene, and Hutchins was fatally wounded. Neither Halls nor Alec knew that the gun had live ammunition in it, according to the affidavit.
As local authorities in New Mexico continue toinvestigatethe tragic accident — withproduction on the film halted— a source toldPEOPLEthat Alec is leaning on his wife and kids, including 26-year-old daughter Ireland with ex Kim Basinger, to get through.
“It’s such an unthinkable tragedy and the grief and trauma for him are unbearable,” the source said. “Alec is still in shock and his heart is completely broken. He is doing his best to cope and is leaning on Hilaria and the kids for support.”
