Helium can be a gas or liquid. Read below and also check out the website. It's facinating.
Helium (symbol He) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless chemical element, one of the nearly inert noble gases of the periodic table. Its boiling and melting points are the lowest among the elements; except in extreme conditions, it exists only as a gas. At temperatures near absolute zero, it is a superfluid, a nearly frictionless phase of matter with unusual properties.
After hydrogen, helium is the second lightest element and the second most abundant element in the universe, created during big bang nucleosynthesis and to a lesser extent from nuclear fusion of hydrogen in stars.

The element Helium occurs naturally in Gaseous form. Also, to correct another user, The element Hydrogen naturally occurs gaseously as well, and it much lighter than Helium. This is why the Zepplins of the early 20th Century were held afloat by hydrogen, not helium, because it was lighter.

Helium at room temperature and 1 atm of pressure is a gas.
Think about balloons at the circus or birthday parties. They are filled with helium.
Oh, and helium is not the lightest gas on the planet. Hydrogen is.
