Ik heb je erg gemist.


Explanation:
This would be the literal translation as in past tense. You would only use this if the missed person has returned or there was a change of circumstances.
If you are indeed still missing that person," Ik mis je heel erg." would be the correct way of saying it.

Ik heb je heel erg gemist


Explanation:
Looking at the word missed, I suggest they mean past tense. Therefore the best sollution in dutch would be the "heb...gemist".

Ik heb je heel erg gemist.


Explanation:
Guess this concerns a person you like very much and haven't seen in a while or who was gone for a longer period of time and has now come back. I know how I feel when I'm away from home for a couple of days, I miss my loved ones a lot too, and say "Ik heb je vreselijk gemist..." when I'm back home.

Ik heb je enorm gemist


Explanation:
The given translations are all good ones (however, I would not say 'Ik miste je erg') It depends on how strong you want to express the fact you missed him/her. Other alternatives could be:

-Ik heb je zó gemist
-Ik heb je verschrikkelijk gemist
