WAS!!!''. He further revealed that he was with her when she was fatally shot by writing, ''Yes, I was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Halyna during this fatal shot that took her life and injured the director Joel Souza. I was holding her in my arms while she was dying. Her blood was on my hands.''

He further scathingly called out the producers for hiring amateurs to handle dangerous equipment on a film set by stating, ''It's the fault of negligence and unprofessionalism',' he continued, ''I'm calling out to the Producers! To save a dime sometimes, you hire people who are not fully qualified for the complicated and dangerous job, and you risk the lives of the other people who are close and your lives as well.'', he further added.
