You should be able to. You can walk the back way to him. Go to the entrance of the church in Undead Parish and travel down the steps, past the Fang Boar and down the ladder to the rats, go along the bridge until you get into a small room, and from there, go up (for safety reasons, don't kick the ladder to the bonfire) and just walk down the bridge.

If you didn't activate Hellkite's first appearance (just before the first bonfire in the Undead Burg) then he won't appear, but if you did, kicking down the ladder will cause him to attack you as soon as you get into his line of sight. Otherwise you can safely walk back the way you came.
