Megan Hilty, the actress and singer known for starring in Wicked and Smash, shared that her past days have been “the worst of our lives,” because of the death of her pregnant sister and her sister’s family in a floatplane crash.

“On Sunday afternoon, a small float plane crashed into Puget Sound off the coast of Whidbey Island,” Hilty wrote in an Instagram post along with a photo of her sister Lauren, her brother-in-law Ross and young sun Luca, who all passed away in the incident.
“To make this news even more devastating my sister was eight months pregnant and we were expecting to welcome baby boy Luca into the world next month,” Hilty also added. The one relief from this awful situation is that one of her sister’s daughters was not on the plane and survived, though it’s still such an awful situation for the family.
Hilty is best known for playing Glinda the Good Witch in several stagings of Wicked and has also had acclaimed performances in other shows like Noises Off, Little Shop of Horrors and 9 to 5: The Musical.
