Hilaria Baldwin is asking for the public's help after her family's cat went missing.
In an Instagram posted on Tuesday, Nov. 2, the best-selling author shared a photo of her pet, who appears to have vanished without a trace.
"We can't find our cat, Emilio," she wrote. "If anyone sees him, please help him get home. We are all so upset. He's microchipped but no collar."
Hilaria added, "The local police know, so if you find him, please contact them."
The news comes as Hilaria tries to support husband Alec Baldwin as he processes a tragedy on the set of his recent movie, Rust. On Oct. 24, police confirmed to E! News that the actor "discharged" a prop gun on his latest movie set, killing director of photography Halyna Hutchins and injuring the film's director Joel Souza.
In two separate social media posts soon after the incident, both Alec and Hilaria spoke out about it and sent their best wishes to the victims involved.
"There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours," Alec stated on Twitter. "I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna."
Hilaria added, "My heart is with Halyna. Her husband. Her Son. Their family and loved ones. And my Alec," she wrote online. "It's said, ‘There are no words' because it's impossible to express the shock and heartache of such a tragic accident. Heartbreak. Loss. Support."
With production on the film suspended indefinitely, officials continue to investigate what happened on set. Nobody has been charged with a crime.
Over the weekend, Hilaria and Alec came together to celebrate Halloween with their children. And while times may be challenging for Mom and Dad, they tried their best to give their kids a special holiday.
"Parenting through this has been an intense experience, to say the least," Hilaria wrote. "Today, we rallied to give them a holiday. Last min costumes…a little hodge-podge…but they were so happy and that warmed my mama heart."
As for the family's missing pet, back in July, Hilaria shared a photo of her 13-month-old son, Eduardo, playing with the cat. "In case you need to see babies and kittens today," she wrote. "Yup, the end: 5th child gets to put cat toy in mouth."
