Custom message inside the webgrid if empty

Question

  @if (Model.ActivityCollection.Count > 0)
        {
        var grid = new WebGrid(source: Model.ActivityCollection, rowsPerPage: 12, canSort: false);   
            @grid.GetHtml(tableStyle: "webGrid",
            headerStyle: "header",
            alternatingRowStyle: "alt",
            columns: grid.Columns(
            grid.Column("EffectiveDate", "Effective Date", style: "date"),
            grid.Column("PremiumPaymentAmount", "Premium Payment Amount", style: "amount"),
            grid.Column("PaymentType", "Payment Type", style: "date")
           ));
        }
else
        {

        }

I would like to display a message "No Payment Information Found" inside the web grid in the above else statement. Can someone help me with this?

<div class="grid" style="margin-left:5px;" id="grid">          
        @if (Model.ActivityCollection.Count > 0)
        {
            var grid = new WebGrid(source: Model.ActivityCollection, rowsPerPage: 12, canSort: false);   
            @grid.GetHtml(tableStyle: "webGrid",
            headerStyle: "header",
            alternatingRowStyle: "alt",
            columns: grid.Columns(
