Michelle Williams Returns Home

The “Dawson’s Creek” star was on location in Sweden with her (and Heath’s) daughter Matilda when she was notified of the tragedy.  She quickly hopped a plane to return to her Brooklyn home last night.

A source close to Williams reported that upon hearing the news of Ledger’s death, Michelle was “devastated.” They had split last September, but maintained a friendship for the benefit of their two-year-old daughter.

An insider told press, “I can’t believe Matilda is going to grow up without a dad, without knowing her father.  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.”
