Brokeback Mountain star's ex grieves with his family
Sunday, 27 January 2008
Naomi Watts joined Heath Ledger's family and other close friends at a memorial service for the actor in LA on Saturday night.
The actress, 39, dated Heath for a couple of years and was 'visably upset' during the proceedings at Westwood Village Memorial Park, reports Australia's Channel 7.
The mourners gathered at 8pm in the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel for the private event.
Earlier, about 1,000 people at the G'Day USA Australia Day Ball in New York listened to a tribute to Heath from his dad, read by Australia's consul-general.
'Heath did not become an actor for the fame or fortune. He loved his craft and he loved helping his friends,' wrote Kim Ledger. 'He loved chess and skateboarding too.
'My image of Heath in New York is him with his skateboard, a canvas bag and his beanie. That was Heath to me.
'Heath is and always will be an Australian.'
Kim, Heath's mother Sally and sister Kate were in LA this weekend, awaiting arrival of the actor's body from New York, reports People.com.
It is believed his remains will now be flown to Perth, Australia for burial.
