Johnny Depp's seven-year-old daughter is now "doing much better" after she fell seriously ill and was admitted to a London hospital nine days ago, the star's spokesman has said.
The star of Pirates of the Caribbean, who is currently filming in the UK, and his wife Vanessa Paradis were reported to have kept a round-the-clock vigil at the undisclosed hospital since Lily-Rose was rushed in.
The couple, who also have a four-year-old son Jack, were last night able to take their daughter out of hospital and to a hotel in the capital, according to a report in the Daily Mirror.
An onlooker who saw the actor carry his daughter to a waiting car was quoted in the paper as saying the couple, who have been together for nine years, looked “exhausted”.
Robin Baum, the actor’s LA spokesman, said: “We are happy to report that their daughter is doing much better.
“The family greatly appreciates the continued support and respect of their privacy.”
The newspaper refused to reveal details about the girl’s medical condition and the location of the hospital where she was being treated, saying it was “out of respect for the family’s privacy”.
Depp, 43, is in Britain to film Sweeney Todd, director Tim Burton’s musical about the demon barber of Fleet Street, at Pinewood Studios. The film also stars Helena Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman.
His other best-known roles are as the eccentric sweet-maker Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and as Edward Scissorhands.

S. M. Kiel, Virginia Beach, Va, USA
So glad Lily-Rose is doing good! On a side note, might want to proof read your articles before you go to press, Johnny and Vanessa are not married. Oops!
Ali, bakersfield, ca,
Who says prayer doesn't work! How wonderful that Lily Rose is better enough to leave the hospital! I hope she continues to do well until she is completely recovered!
Lee, Albany, USA
Who says prayer doesn't work!! Thank G-d Lily Rose is doing better! I will continue to pray for her complete & full recovery! I wish the Depp family well and hope they can soon relax a little.
Lee, Albany, USA
It is so great Lily-Rose is recovering so fast. I mean I love Johnny Depp, and I just really am happy.
Grace, Fowlerville, Michigan
Its wonderful to hear that Lilly-Rose is doing so well, Its good to hear the media vultures finally give the apropriate space and privicy in such a delicate subject. I hope Lilly makes a full recovery, no parent should have to see their child suffer.
Good luck to the Depp family. :-)
Katie, Leicester,
Johnny is such a private man, I'm so glad that the press didn't find out for over a week, as a member of his fan sites, we think it was probably a visitor to the hospital who tipped off the press, we don't think any of the staff at Great Ormond St would have done it, we are just so grateful that Lily Rose is doing well now.
Marie Stewart, Cambridge, England
A remarkable show of restraint from a country,whose media jackals almost certainly caused the death of Princess Di.I wish a speedy recovery to Depps daughter.I can only imagine how difficult it must be.
Mike, Chicago, US/Illinois
I hope that Lilly Rose gets well soon and am glad that the media has given the family the appropriate space and privacy so they can focus on the well being of their child. xx
Davinder, Birmingham, England
This is very sad,but I fail to see that it is anybody's business except the Child's Parents and immediate family.This Celebrity business is totally out of control.
Michael Rigby, Blackburn, England
I'm not the biggest Depp fan, but if reports of his girl's medical condition are correct it's very serious. I know my father died from stepping on a rusty nail . Glad she is doing better, suggest a very close eye be kept on the little girl.
Marisols, Jacksonville, US/Florida
THANK YOU to Times Online for not revealing the information which would have further turned this frightening event in the actor's private life into a circus spectacle. (I shall be a returning reader.) My neice's name is also Lily Rose, and is the same age, so I am relieved the child is doing better. May God bless the child and give her increasingly better health.
Aaron, San Luis Obispo, California
poor girl
i hope she gets much better

Cynthia, Liverpool,
I think it is great that this couple has been together for 9 years and obviously care about their children.
Najah Aishah, Spokane,
Thanks to the newspaper for repecting their privacy, you are a minority in this field. and it good too see. You stated the facts and that is all we need know.

I pray for the whole family...I wish them peace and good health,
