Meghan Hilty’s Sister and Brother-in-Law Among 10 Killed in Seattle Plane Crash

Meghan Hilty, the star of NBC’s Smash, is grieving the lack of her members of the family.

Tragedy struck on Sunday when a float aircraft carrying 10 individuals crashed in Washington’s Puget Sound.

Three of Hilty’s members of the family — sister Lauren Hilty, brother-in-law Ross Mickel and niece Remy — have been among the many passengers, in line with a press launch shared by the U.S. Coast Guard.

“We are deeply saddened and beyond devastated at the loss of our beloved Ross Mickel, Lauren Hilty, Remy and their unborn baby boy, Luca,” an announcement from the household, shared by Seattle NBC affiliate King 5, reads. 

“Our collective grief is unimaginable. They were a bright and shining light in the lives of everyone who knew them. Although their time with us was too short, we will carry their legacy forward,” the assertion reads.

“We want to thank all the first responders, emergency service agencies of Whidbey Island, Island County, the United States Coast Guard (USCG), Naval Air Station Whidbey Island (NASWI), and the private citizens who participated in the search and rescue efforts following the crash.”

“The enormous outpouring and support we have received from our friends, family, and the public has been overwhelming.”

“Our hearts go out to the families and friends of those who also lost loved ones on-board. At this difficult time, we are requesting that our privacy be respected as we grieve the loss of our family members.”

Mickel was a winemaker and proprietor of Ross Andrew Wineries.

It was introduced Monday that the U.S. Coast Guard had ended its search.

“The Coast Guard has suspended its active search for the remaining nine missing individuals effective at noon,” the USCG shared by way of its official Twitter account.

“All next of kin have been notified of this decision. Our hearts go out to the families, loved ones and friends of those who remain missing and the deceased.”

Hilty performed Ivy Lynn on two seasons of NBC’s Smash.

We prolong our ideas and prayers to everybody affected by this tragedy.

May the victims relaxation in peace.
