Tributes are being paid locally to Halyna Hutchins, who was killed after Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on the set of Rust in New Mexico.

Birr Castle and Gardens says they are deeply saddened to hear of the tragic loss of the 42-year-old.

She spent time filming in Offaly in the summer of 2020.

In a post on social media, they described how they "witnessed her creativity, her authentic way of working as well as her vision".

Investigations are continuing into her death.

A spokesperson for Mr Baldwin says the incident was as a result of a misfire.

Actor Alec Baldwin says there are no words to convey his 'shock and sadness'.

The director of the film, Joel Souza, was injured in the incident, but has since been released from hospital.

The Santa Fe County Sheriff says no charges have been filed, and they'll be continuing to speak with witnesses.
