Took out part of the first description
I took out the part which read "used indiginously[1] throughout the United States and Canada." The cited source doesn't claim that at all, furthermore the cited source is the urban dictionary. It seems very fishy to claim "Hella" is used throughout the United States, as well as Canada. The word "Indiginously" is also misspelled, and doesn't mean what the original author thinks it means. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.135.113 (talk) 05:55, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Perhaps the original contributor lives in the Bay Area and thinks it's representative of all of North America.

In the spirit of the Oxford English Dictionary, I first heard a Hawaiian woman I worked with in Seattle in 1990 describe the term 'hella' and she used it all the time as a prefix and to cadence her patter and proudly said it was Hawaiian. I didn't hear it again until about 1996 in San Francisco from a woman from Boston and longtime resident of SF but with a very thick Boston accent. She used it exclusively as a prefix to a longtime Boston term, 'wicked,' but she said it was common usage in Boston then to say, 'hella wicked.' Hard to date and source these things accurately, as I have worked with many who zip around the country and sling their favorite phrases as they travel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.205.82.162 (talk) 05:10, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
The word Hella appears in one of the Mike Helm's movies, in the 60's
The Matt Helm's charactor, played by Dean Martin, uses the term "hella" in one of the Matt Helms movies in the late 60's. Cannot remember which one, so this is mostly just a reminder until I get a chance to confirm, unless someone else finds it first. — fcsuper (How's That?, That's How!)

Hella Nor Cal or Totally So Cal? The Perceptual Dialectology of California
This paper is hella relevant, and has some totally interesting information that could be included in this article.
Hella Nor Cal or Totally So Cal? The Perceptual Dialectology of California
This study provides the first detailed account of perceptual dialectology within California (as well as one of the first accounts of perceptual dialectology within any single state). Quantitative analysis of a map-labeling task carried out in Southern California reveals that California's most salient linguistic boundary is between the northern and southern regions of the state. Whereas studies of the perceptual dialectology of the United States as a whole have focused almost exclusively on regional dialect differences, respondents associated particular regions of California less with distinctive dialects than with differences in language (English versus Spanish), slang use, and social groups. The diverse sociolinguistic situation of California is reflected in the emphasis both on highly salient social groups thought to be stereotypical of California by residents and nonresidents alike (e.g., surfers) and on groups that, though prominent in the cultural landscape of the state, remain largely unrecognized by outsiders (e.g., hicks).

Life is Strange
The slang is also used pretty often by the deuteragonist in the game life is strange, a game that has sold over a million copies and won awards. It should at the very least be mentioned.
I'm gonna add it to the article some days from now, unless someone gives a good reason for why it shouldn't be included.
