It's terrible to think that his daughter is going to grow up without her father.

WHAT?!
Re: caryn – ?? hours ago….. try like 10 minutes ago when the breaking news was on fox.. what the fuckin you talkin about??
I was completely shocked!!!
Who cares about the Batman movie? Im sending my deepest thougths to his family and friends. And the biggest—> to his you daughter.
R.I.P Heath!
Really, really terrible.
My thoughts are with his family and friends.
omg
I am so sad
God rest his soul….
So sad!
I feel bad for his daughter.
… and ironic considering his role in the Aussie indy film 'Candy' with abbie cornish…
HOLY SHIT!!!! thats so fucking sad….i cant even comprehend it. he was so young!! aww….
the first thing i thought of was that he couldn't stand being away from his family, ie his daughter matilda? and michelle. it takes a strong man to keep living when his relationship/ family breaks up.
i don't know what the fuck else would make him want to do drugs like that to that point. maybe it was a mistake, its fucken upsetting, he was a big deal to me, he first shined in Two Hands, check it out. RIP
Australian Newspapers are reporting that he was found dead in his apartment by his maid at around 3:35pm on Tuesday afternoon. The police do not suspect that the death is the result of a crime. His body was found surrounded by pills.
Sweet Jesus, just cant believe this stuff, crazy is not the word, I dont know what to say about this, only i feel sorry for little girl who has to grow up without her father. Pease out To The Ledger
Everyone calm down! The Dark Knight movie has already finished filming.
Too sad! He was a great actor. RIP
OMG i cant believe it his poor daugther.. R.I.P
its a shame that young celebs go aroung with hair stylists ..dressers..managers etc.. when they need to add a psychologist to there employ to keep them grounded..because at such a young age its to much to soon.
That is really, really sad. Heath was an extraordinary actor. I feel sorry for his little girl Matilda. It is a great loss of life.
Terrible news !!! He was just a young guy. May God have mercy on his soul and may he rest in peace. I am so sorry for this little girl having to grow up without a Daddy. Keep her in your prayers.
Aww only 28 yrs old with a 1 yr old daughter left behind. Poor Matilda won't have a daddy. You know he wasn't really big on drugs but I think the break up from his wife took it's toll of vourse a drug overdose isn't confirmed and personally I'm hoping it isn't so. His history of being a good person shouldn't be tarnished by his death. So sad. my friend saw him making out with some chick on the subway like two weeks ago and now he's gone.
Wow….how UNSURPRISING???? I mean come on how IDIOTIC do you have to be to do something like this. Obviously he was a SELFISH person as he didnt give two shits about his daughter before doing what he did. BOO HOO I am rich and I cant handle all the PROBLEMS that comes with beinf FAMOUS & RICH….and now what is everyone going to remember him for his movies and work he did….casue I GUARENTEE that HIS DAUGHTER and his loved ones will always remember he DIED A JUNKIE….Thats the TRUTH…its sad that another young person had to lose his life…but should I honor him for it or give him any sympathy…..no I have problems as well as so does all of the world…people with problems besides how much money is in my bank account or why is someone else worth more than me per film…..or OMG the papparazzi wont leave me alone….These people ask for all this and then we are supposed to feel sorry for them… Heath you SELFISH JUNKIE…..Now who is going to raise YOUR Daughter????????
He will be missed.
My sympathy goes out to his family, especially his daughter. Let this be an example to other Hollywood celebrities.
COME ON EVERYONE IS THIS REALLY A SURPRISE? THE GUY WAS A DRUG-ADDICT AND AN ALCOHOLIC ….
COME ON EVERYONE IS THIS REALLY A SURPRISE? THE GUY WAS A DRUG-ADDICT AND AN ALCOHOLIC ….
omg, no.
So sad! Such an amazing actor! Why is it always the good ones!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY??????????????????????? OMG THIS IS SO DISTURBING!!!!! WTF???????
omg i am actually truly sad. he was so talented and young and this is just not right he was supposed to be one of those great actors with a career that goes on and on. I am actually in schock as if it were someone i knew. this is so sad, its not like its expected like britney spears or anything this is truly a tradedy. rip.
this is an absolute tragedy. my prayers are with his family
and friends. so sad. i feel bad for his little girl
Does anyone know for how long Keith Ledger has been a serious junkie? He has not had the best photos of late but anyone can have a bad day. On the set of Broke Back Mountain?
This is such a shock and so incredibly sad. He was an amazing actor and will be sorely missed. Drugs are taking a whole generation of talent away from us. It is so very sad. My condolences to His family and his precious little girl. May He Rest In Peace.
I NOMINATE BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN AS ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES OF ALL TIME.

One of the Olsen twins owns the apartment he was staying in, but I didn't see anything in the news about her being at the residence.
wow..OD that's new…really thought, sad for his little girl
WTF…He is from my home town. My bro went to school with him…I thought he had he shit together. Don't think it was drug use…I reakon it was depression. I loved him as an actor and as a Perth boy - he marched for environmental causes back here in Australia. Seriously I am stunned - this is a HUGE loss for Australia and thew international acting community..he was well on his way to be one of a few of his generation….thoughts go out to his family.

AND HE'S GOT A LITTLE GIRL THAT NOW WILL NEVER KNOW HER FATHER..WAKE UP YOU STUPID CELEBRITIES AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORSHIP THEM!! WHAT A TRAGIC, TRAGIC WASTE.
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope this is some kind of a sick joke!!!
:( I cannot believe this! I really liked him… what the hell is going on in Hollywood these days?
ps. i love kelli p0p and all my stockton crew! p0p 0ff s0ns!
No.Way.
Okay so I never thought I cared THHAAATTT much about celebs, but I actually cried when I heard. Seriously..ow my movie loving heart.
Tragic. He was a pretty fine actor.
Apparently an overdose of sleeping pills. Such a shame.
xx
I mean Heath Ledger. Did not mean to mess his name up either. RIP
so sad…he was a hottie
That is soo horrible and sad! RIP! its soo shocking- another sad thing is that somebody dies and all u people care about is what website posted it 1st - yall should be ashamed
Who cares?
HMMM. He was recently with KATE HUDSON too. She's becoming the black widow of Hollywood…..firt Olson Wilson attempts suicide and Heath suceeds. SO WHAT IS SHE DOING TO THEST GUYS?
WTF!!?? OMG!! that is fucking crazy!!!
I'm shocked and heart-broken. He was immensely talented. My thought are with his family and especially his young daughter. He will be missed.
Re: Dumb Ass Celebrities – Oh STFU! It hasn't even been verified that his death was drug-related, and even if it was–have some fucking respect for the dead! If drugs were involved, you don't know if it was an overdose or suicide. So in the meantime, until you can pass judgement (if ever), why don't you just SHUT YOUR PIEHOLE! ASSHOLE!!!
that is so tragic..may he rest in peace
this is really sad and i am shocked. rip heath ledger
Re: Hal R Hosfeld – Re: Hal R Hosfeld –
f**k off and have some respect, you moron.
Re: GWB –
is that the only thing you have to say on someone's death? stupid cunt.
HE WASN'T WITH ONE OF THE OLSEN TWINS IDIOT!
He was found in a Manhattan apartment OWNED by Mary Kate.
Very sad news indeed. He has a little baby =(
I read in the NYT that he was in Mary-Kate's apartment, but she was not there… she is in California, per the article. The NYT also stated that he was naked and pills were all over the bed.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
this is wayyy intense!
i just heard it on the news here in L.A. and i just couldn't believe it…
i had to get on perezhilton.com right away and i started texting everyone i knew!
This is sooooooo sad!
Think of his poor daughter!
And people, stop fucking correcting Perez and saying how it wasn't exclusive!
HEATH LEDGER DIED!
i think that's the more important issue!
OF COURSE the olsen twins were with him, they are prescription junkies we all know THIS!!!!!! Somebody better be on that like white on rice!!!!!!! I hope it wasnt oxycontin!!!!!!
oh well, another druggo!!!
Oh my god, Perez ! What is up with your fucking website ?! BTW, I really couldnt care less about Heath Ledger.
WOW I LITERALLY HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS SHOCKED. HE SEEMED LIKE A REALLY CHILL DUDE. ALL MY PRAYERS GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY ESPECIALLY HIS LITTLE GIRL WHO IS LEFT WITHOUT A DADDY NOW.
This is so incredibly sad. He was such a talented actor and he seemed like a great dad and a really nice person. My prayers are with his family.
I heard about this this evening. Sad. God rest his soul. Too young to die. Why am I typing like Rosie O'Donnell?
Brad Renfro and now Heath…wow, its so sad. It seems like the guys can hide it better than the girls
:-( im sad
OMG! I'm speechless. holy shit
My condolences
I have to say I was in shock when I heard this, and I'm quite saddened by it. he was one of my favorite actors. He will be missed.
God rest his soul. My prayers go out to his parents, Michelle, Matilda, and other loved ones that are left behind. So tragic.
wow.im in shock.this is so terribly sad.he was one of my favorite actors.i cant believe this.its weird, when an actor dies i feel like i know them.im really really sad.my heart goes out to his little daughter. :'-(
what??? how sad…my condolences to michelle williams & their daughter…what a tragedy!

OMG
Just heard this on the radio, but couldn't believe it. My sympathy for the family.
May he rest in peace
This is so sad! He's to young and talented! I hope Michelle and his baby girl will be ok… Saddness…
How tragic. I feel bad for his friends and family, who are probably going through a really tough time right now. This is so surreal. I wasn't even a huge fan, but his death has really affected me. Sadness
PS: Perez - You should have put a picture up!
no way!!!!
salkndklasdn

:'[
RIP :'(
R.I.P Heath Ledger…what awaste of life…such a great actor..
Very, Very Sad!!!
Holy shit!He was pretty low on my celebrity death odds….I hope they don't eliminate the joker from the rest of the batman movies…i really wanted to see harley quinn. Oh, and i hope his family is doing all right too.
I'm beyond shocked and so sad to say the least. He was such a wonderful, young talent. And gorgeous, might I add. I feel so sorry for his little girl and his loved ones. Never underestimate the power of what depression and drug use can do. How Tragic. RIP Heath.
OMG! This is very upsetting news, to read.
I have just been talking about him & his great acting, over the past couple months.
I loved his acting.
RIP, Heath!
A very sad day indeed.
why not add a psychologist to the mix..this will keep the to much to soon actors grounded does not matter about the hair the dress the publicity it matters to live and enjoy the ride.
heath, i love you and may your soul find eternal peace. though we've never met, you have touched my heart with your movies, especially 10 Things I Hate About You. you will be sorely missed. you were gone too soon. we regret you never felt complete that you had to do drugs. your daughter needs you.
this is awful. so young and so talented. yet puff daddy is still kicking. so not fair
Wow….such a shock!
i can't believe this, its terrible
he has a kid, he's not even 30
RIP Heath
Rest in peace Heath.
We'll miss you Heath… Thank you for all your great work, especially on Brokeback Mountain. You're my hero!
you know that feeling when someone gives you information and you just stand there in silence because you fell like you miss heard them and what you heard is a joke or something? thats how i felt.
O_O

OMG No! I am still in a state of shock. R.I.P Heath. My heart goes out to his family in Western Australia, and his beautiful little girl, my thoughts and prayers are with you. And apparently they were prescription pills, they are unsure if his passing was intentional or accidental.
it was an ACCIDENTAL overdose. Heath had back issues and tylenol pm was his friend for many years. he did NOT want to take prescription pain meds. he had a particulary sore night after a chiropractic appt last night. he had weekly standing massage appointments also ..this was ACCIDENTAL..he loves his daughter more than himself..Matilda has just suffered a great and irreplaceable loss….
