Recently, after their visit to Los Angeles where Heath Ledger won an Oscar, his father spoke to Fox's Pop Tarts about the family's relationship with Matilda, Heath's daughter, and her mother, Michelle Williams.

In order to ensure Matilda is not distressed by the constant media attention, her grandfather, Kim says, “Michelle keeps [Matilda] very closeted. I [don't] think she’ll really know very much about the fuss of what’s going on, which I think is a good thing.”

Responding to the rumors of a rocky relationship between Michelle and Heath’s immediate family, "don’t believe everything you read", says Kim.
“We’re very close with Michelle. She’s doing an amazing job with Matilda, and we speak all the time so we’re in constant contact and always will be.”

Williams joined Heath's family the day after the Oscars for a celebration at Johnny Depp's pad. She brought Matilda along to play with her grandparents and the rest of her father's family.
