Question about Skeletal Vampire

Im playing Skeletal Vampire (When it comes in to play put 2 1/1 tokens) and then my opponent suddenly casts Lightning Helix and put it on the stack targeting my Skely and then he says that Skely will be dead and no tokens shall be made. I have actually no idea about this cause im just piloting my friends deck and my first time playing with skeletal vampire.

Is he right?

he can cast it on the skelly when tokens on the stack. the skely dies but you still get tokens.

you'll get your 2 bat tokens, but the vampire will die

When Skeletal Vampire comes into play, put two 1/1 black bat tokens w flying into play.

The bats ability goes on the stack

In response he plays helix on the vampire since it has to be in play for the bats ability to trigger, and the vampire dies as the helix resolves, and then the triggered bats ability resolves, leaving you with only 2 bats, and 6 wasted mana.

so basically you will get tokens but you can't use them to regenerate the vampire.
