Pure oxygen is very harmful to humans at pressures higher than ground level, with the effects becoming worse the higher the pressure - ie. when Scuba diving.

At lower pressures, such as the cockpit of a plane at altitude, pure oxygen becomes much safer to breathe, to the point some astronauts have breathed it for around 2 weeks (at low pressure) with no detrimental effects.

Can something breathe helium?

It depends on what you mean. We can breathe helium without any ill effects as long as we get enough oxygen. However, nothing could breathe and use helium as we breathe and use oxygen because helium is inert. Unlike oxygen, which is highly reactive, helium does not participate in chemical reactions, so it could not serve an organism any purpose.
