Same. From what I can gather from a quick search engine query, heterozygosity is some kind of measure of how many alleles (versions) of a genomic marker that you have, that are inherited from parents.
If the same versions of two genomic markers are inherited from two parents, then that would be homozygous, whilst different ones are heterozygous.
