We saw Helena Christensen walking through the West Village today, looking distraught over the death of her friend Heath Ledger.  Helena was about to pay Heath a visit on Tuesday when she heard the news of his death "I was on my way over to pay him a visit when I found out," she says. "I had just left him a message and heard his voice on the machine."
A wave of sadness seems to be spreading over Hollywood as many of Heath’s friends and even people who did not know him personally lament the loss of the young star.
