Actor Dwayne Johnson says his production company Seven Bucks will no longer use real guns on any set, following death of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

"Moving forward on any Seven Bucks production, in television or film or otherwise, we will not use real guns ever again. We are going to be using rubber guns and we'll take care of it in post," he said.

"And we won't worry about the dollars, we won't worry about math and what the cost is. I think we're going to do it the right way," the actor added.

Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot by actor Alec Baldwin on the "Rust" set in New Mexico last month. Investigators believe Baldwin's gun fired a single live round that killed the cinematographer and wounded director Joel Souza.

The Rock was at the Los Angeles premiere of his upcoming film 'Red Notice', where he said, the tragedy will be a catalyst for change.
