It has been revealed that Heath Ledgers daughter Matilda Rose will inherit the late actors entire fortune " estimated to be around 10 million.

Ledger died in January of this year from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs " leaving behind his only daughter from his relationship with actress Michelle Williams.

Although the Brokeback Mountain star had written a will, it had not been updated since 2 years before the birth of his daughter in 2003 and named his parents and 3 sisters as the sole beneficiaries.

There had been speculation that Michelle Williams was set to lodge a claim for the money on Matildas behalf

However Ledgers father Kim has now quashed the rumours by stating "There is no claim. Our family has gifted everything to Matilda,"

When Ledgers will was drawn up it listed only around 75,000 in assets, but huge success and an Oscar nomination for his role in Brokeback Mountain saw this figure rise considerably.

Heaths final film role " as The Joker in The Dark Knight " has been tipped to receive a posthumous Oscar at the ceremony in February.
