The producers of 'Chloe,' the film Liam Neeson was filming when his wife Natasha Richadson had her tragic skiing accident, are expressing their condolences to the family.

"The entire cast and crew of 'Chloe' are bereft. Our hearts go out to Liam and his family at this difficult time," said a statement by the movie's production team. Neeson immediately left the Toronto set of the movie upon news of his wife's accident on Monday so he could be with her.

"'Chloe' will continue with its production schedule focusing on scenes which feature other cast members. There are some scenes with Liam Neeson which have not been completed, however, we do not feel this is the time to address that matter. Our concern is for Liam and his family at this difficult time," the statement reads.

'Chloe''s director Atom Egoyan also shared his thoughts on Natasha's passing: "I had the opportunity to meet Natasha at the opening of the play I did with Liam in New York last year. Her intense pride and affection for her husband was so clear, as was his passion and love for her. I'm so devastated for Liam's loss."
