Mary-Kate Olsen marykateheath.jpg With her name becoming an increasingly larger component to the story of Heath Ledger's untimely passing, people have been waiting to hear Mary-Kate Olsen's reaction to the whole sad string of events.

Earlier today, the starlet's rep issued a statement addressing just that:

"Heath was a friend. His death is a tragic loss. My thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time."

Luckily for Mary-Kate, it appears that the police will give her plenty of room to grieve - Yahoo reports that the cops have eliminated "any need to interview Miss Olsen" about the circumstances surrounding Ledger's death.
