Heath Ledger’s former fiance and the mother of his daughter Matilda, is “devastated” by his death. TMZ reports:
We’re told that “words cannot describe” the pain she is in over the news about the father of her child, Matilda Rose.
We’re told she is on a plane heading to NY right now.
How will she tell their sweet girl? It’s all so very heartbreaking.

I think about them so much.
a so special family!
Wish a better year 2008.
love
I am deeply saddened by Heath’s death. As a mother, daughter, sister and wife I can only imagine what each of his family memebers and Michelle must be going through. Matilda is sure a beautiful legacy for Heath to have left because she looks exactly like him. I of course did not know him though I enjoy watching his movies. For some reason his death has struck me differently than most others, more deeply? I don’t know why maybe because he is soooo young and he had his whole life in front of him. And that beautiful little girl who I am sure adores him. I pray for him and his family. Michelle and Matilda will also be at the top of my prayer list God Bless all of you who love him you will be in my prayers friends and family alike!
MAY GOD WATCH OVER BOTH FAMILYS AND PROTECT HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER. MAY WE ALL NOT TAKE LIFE FORGRANTED AND REMEMBER TO TRUST IN THE LORD.
It breaks my heart that Heath is dead. He was on of my favorite actors.
Matilda is beautiful and looks exactly like her daddy!
His daughter does look just like him. We will never truly know what went on behind closed doors (the breakup of his relationship OR his tragic death) – but what we do know is he loved and was loved by his family. We should really let them grieve in privacy.
my condolences go to all family of the williams and ledgers
I thought the same thing Helen…she’s a spitting image of her daddy. So sad.
oh gosh, this is really sad… and matilda looks just like him too.
