Naomi Watts and Keri Russel lend their support.

Naomi Watts‘ brother Ben called her to break the news regarding the sudden death of her ex-boyfriend Heath Ledger. But, she already knew. “Naomi is just devastated,” a close friend of the Watts family tells In Touch. “The whole family is overcome with sadness,” the insider adds. “She was supposed to arrive in Park City, Utah today to promote her film Funny Games at Sundance, but she cancelled the trip.”

Meanwhile, Waitress star Keri Russell stopped by Michelle Williams’ Brooklyn home this afternoon. Michelle’s mom, as well as her best friend, actress Busy Philipps, who also happens to be Heath’s daughter Matilda’s godmother, were inside. “It was very sweet,” an eyewitness tells In Touch. “Keri walked up and handed a card to a police officer. She asked him to give it to Michelle’s mom before walking away silently,” the insider adds.
Here’s a picture of Michelle Williams arriving back in NY this morning. How SAD!! (I feel really weird about posting the picture…so if you want to see it, go here.)
