In a new interview with ABC News' "20/20," "Rust" actor Devon Werkheiser — who first came to fame as a preteen when starring on Nickelodeon's "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" in 2004 — says that the cast and crew of "Rust" were the last people to find out Halyna Hutchins had died.

Werkheiser explained that there was confusion as to what had happened, adding that many on set were told that she was in stable condition when she may not have been. Werkheiser recalled, "Many of us were waiting for news on how she was ... No one got told, but somehow it got leaked to the world before those of us who were actually involved found out that she had passed." Holding back tears, he continued, "To lose anyone on a movie is hard and shouldn't happen. To lose her... it doesn't make sense." Werkheiser also noted that everyone who worked on the film still feels incredibly devastated over the loss of Hutchins. "If you weren't on this movie, you can't possibly understand what this feels like. You can't know what it was like to be on that set before, and what it was to experience that day, and what it was to lose this person," he said.

As has been widely reported, some members of the crew walked out a few days before Hutchins' death because of allegedly poor working conditions. However, Alec Baldwin asserts that all the safety protocols were adhered to, sharing two lengthy Instagram posts of a letter signed and written by crew members.
