Two paparazzi working for LA-based Splash News and Pictures have been accused of supplying late Hollywood actor Heath Ledger with cocaine and then secretly filming him snorting the drug, the Independent on Sunday reported.

Footage of the set up is reported to have been sold to various media outlets for more than £500,000. The accusations have come in a lawsuit filed on Friday by a woman who featured in some of the footage and has claimed her privacy was violated.

Splash is owned and mainly staffed by UK journalists.
