Christensen Called Ledger 'Moments' Before Death

Helena Christensen has revealed that she was on her way to visit Heath Ledger when the news of his untimely death broke.

Ledger’s former flame – who allegedly shared a brief fling with the actor in September 2007 – told a New York publication that she left a message for the 28-year-old, moments before his death was announced.

"I am just beyond sad at this point and shocked” said the 39-year-old. “I was on my way over to pay him a visit when I found out. I had just left him a message and heard his voice on the machine.

”He was such a special and genuine person, so extraordinarily  talented because he was so raw and honest with his feelings,” she added. "He was so full of life, so electric. This is immensely sad."

Actress Naomi Watts, who dated Ledger on-and-off for two years, yesterday withdrew from all Sundance Film Festival interviews and engagements after learning of the actor's death.
