  Results on the production of $^{4}{\textrm{He}}$ and
$^{4}\overline{\textrm{He}}$ nuclei in Pb-Pb collisions at $
\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = 2.76 $ TeV in the rapidity range $ \mid y \mid < 1$,
using the ALICE detector, are presented in this paper. The rapidity densities
corresponding to 0-10% central events are found to be $\mathrm{d}N/\mathrm{d}y
_{^{4}\mathrm{He}} = (0.8 \pm 0.4 ~(\mathrm{stat}) \pm
0.3~(\mathrm{syst}))\times 10^{-6}$ and $\mathrm{d}N/\mathrm{d}y
_{^{4}\mathrm{\overline{He}}} = (1.1 \pm 0.4~(\mathrm{stat}) \pm
0.2~(\mathrm{syst}))\times 10^{-6}$, respectively. This is in agreement with
the statistical thermal model expectation assuming the same chemical freeze-out
temperature ($T_{\mathrm{chem}}$ = 156 MeV) as for light hadrons. The measured
ratio of $^{4}\overline{\mathrm{He}}$/$^{4}\mathrm{He}$ is $1.4 \pm
0.8~(\mathrm{stat}) \pm 0.5~(\mathrm{syst})$.
