Michelle Williams is "devastated" by the death of her former fiance, Heath Ledger.
We're told that "words cannot describe" the pain she is in over the news about the father of her child, Matilda Rose.
We're told she is on a plane heading to NY right now.

47. My heart goes out to Michelle. What a tragedy for her to lose the father of her child and her friend and great love. I hope that she is allowed to grieve in private, without cameras in her and her daughter's faces. She deserves to be treated, not like a famous actress, but like a grieving woman whose life has been changed forever.

51. My heart goes out to Michelle Williams. How sad that she has lost the father of her child and a great love and friend. Bless her at noq and please give her respect and time to privately grieve without the intrusion of cameras in her and her daughter's faces. She deserves, more now than ever, to be treated not like a famous actress, but as a grieving woman whose life has been changed forever.

52. I am so sad for them. It's heartbreaking. We should be praying for them and respecting their privacy to mourn without the glare of cameras and the ignorant comments/ reports from tabloids.
