Rose Byrne, a Hollywood contemporary of Ledger’s said she would “never forget his spirit.”"Heath was an enigmatic, wonderful and endlessly generous friend and colleague,” she said. “His passing is deeply tragic and my thoughts and love go out to his friends and family in Perth and in New York.”

Rest in peace, Heath.

i remember turning the tv on and seeing the news on CNN.it took me a few minutes to really comprehend the news…it\'s a shock and a great loss to the acting world.may he rest in peace.

Very sad news. My condolences to Rose for losing a friend from the Aussie acting community. I hope Rose herself always avoids the traps of the hedonistic Hollywood lifestyle. She has plenty of talent and many fans back home in Australia!
