Michelle Williams, the mother of Heath Ledger's daughter, made a statement to the press in regards to his death.

"Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken. I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father," Williams said in her statement. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him."

It's sad, that people are now taking advantage of his death and selling tapes and making up stories to sell newspapers or for higher ratings. Hopefully it'll die down enough so that Matilda can have as much of a normal life as she can.
