NEW YORK (AP) - Mary-Kate Olsen calls Heath Ledger a ''friend'' in a brief statement released Friday, the first word from the ''Full House'' star since the Australian-born actor's death.

Released by her publicist, the statement, in its entirety, reads: ''Heath was a friend. His death is a tragic loss. My thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time.''

Police said the masseuse who found Ledger's body Tuesday spent nine minutes making three calls to Olsen before dialing 911 for help. The masseuse called Olsen a fourth time after paramedics arrived. At some point during the frenzy, Olsen, who was in California, summoned her personal security guards to the apartment to help, police said. Police told The Associated Press on Friday that they do not want to interview the actress in connection with the calls.

Olsen's whereabouts were unknown Friday. A private viewing was scheduled for Friday at the Frank E. Campbell funeral home in Manhattan, and Ledger's family was flying to the U.S. from his native Australia.

Why was 911 NOT CALLED FIRST? That is what I want to know. If I were Mary Kate, I would have yelled at the masseuse to call for help ASAP.
