The parents and sister of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins are suing Alec Baldwin, claiming the cinematographer would have brought them to the US when war broke out in Ukraine if she was alive.
The Hutchins family is being represented by Gloria Allred, who announced today at a press conference that they are seeking damages from Baldwin in Los Angeles.
Halyna's mother, Olga, is a nurse treating the war wounded, and her sister, Svetlana, struggles at home with her two young kids while her husband fights on the front lines.
The family had not filed any immigration case or visa request, but their attorneys say Halyna 'would not have allowed them' to stay in the war if she was still alive.
'She would have brought them to the US when it was possible,' said Allred
In a recorded statement, Halyna's sister Svetlana said: 'To lose my sister was a horrible experience and one of the biggest losses of my life.
'Even more devastating is to see the utter suffering of our parents and how their health has sharply declined,' Svetlana said in a pre-recorded statement.
'It is for this reason that I'd like those who are at fault for somebody to carry that responsibility not just someone - but that very someone who is truly responsible.
'To let this go and let this be unpunished is unallowable,' she added.
Allred said Baldwin has never contacted the family to apologize to them for shooting Halyna dead.
'We are now representing others in the family - mom, dad and sister.
'There has been no settlement for them, there has been no outreach to them by Mr. Baldwin to even say he was sorry. We want accountability and justice for them

Was the murdered daughter a US citizen? As non US citizens in another country, how does that affect their legal standing to sue a US citizen in the US?
Yes, it is right that they should be able to sue the worthless so and so into poverty, but can they?
Anyone in this Nation has the same rights. The only thing NOT extended to non-citizens is the right to vote. Democrats are wearing that away. It won’t be long before your citizenship will serve only to get you selectively killed in other countries.
Just yell loud enough at Alec and he will get you here to make his case look better.
But are her parents currently residing in the US or Ukraine?
If they are in Ukraine that could make it different than if they were in the US.
Fortunately for me I’m not a lawyer. I can pass this one along. ;-D
