A private memorial service was held for the late Australian actor Heath Ledger in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Ledger's ex-fiancé Michelle Williams and ex-girlfriend Naomi Watts both attended the service at the Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary, which was restricted to family and close friends.

Watts, who dated Ledger for two years after meeting him on the set of 'Ned Kelly' in 2002, was reported to be "visibly upset" during the service.

28-year-old Ledger was found dead last Tuesday in his New York apartment. Initial results of an autopsy were inconclusive.

His family insist his death was a tragic accident.

He will be buried in his hometown of Perth, Australia.
