Heath and Michelle Williams

Grieving Michelle Williams arrives in New York

Mother of Heath Ledger's child flies home

Thursday, 24 January 2008

Michelle Williams arrived home in New York on Wednesday, traveling from a film set in Sweden with daughter Matilda following the death of Heath Ledger.

Williams, 27, made a stop in Landvetter Airport in Gothenburg, Sweden, before traveling on to New York. She arrived at her Brooklyn home Wednesday night.

Just hours earlier, the body of Ledger was released by the coroner to a New York funeral home. Memorial arrangements had not been announced.

A source close to Williams told PEOPLE the actress was "devastated" upon hearing the news. She and Ledger split in September, but they both agreed that parenting their daughter came first.

"I can't believe Matilda is going to grow up without a dad, without knowing her father," another source told PEOPLE. "And that Michelle will have to deal with having a daughter who's lost her father. She's a survivor. She'll make it, but it's going to be hard. Her first concern is going to be Matilda."
