"To us ... it seems like merely yesterday, and we are all still nursing broken hearts," Kate said.
Bell praised Michelle Williams, Ledger's ex-fiancee and the mother of his daughter, Matilda.
"What an unbelievable legacy he has left for Matilda and our family," Bell said. "We will take this opportunity today to honor his wonderful life and take comfort in knowing Heath will continue to touch future generations through this amazing art form."
Ledger received a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight on Thursday.
"Although we would love to have him here with us, we are so proud and so excited on his behalf," Bell said.
She added, "In Heath's words, he had the time of his life portraying the Joker and said that it was the most fun he'd ever had working on a film."
