Lily-Rose Depp has broken her silence regarding her father Johnny's divorce from Amber Heard by posting a photo to her Instagram account.
The aspiring actress, who turned 17 on Friday, posted an old family photo showing Johnny walking with her as a very young child, clad in a white romper suit, matching hat and tiny red sandals.
The post's caption reads 'My father is the sweetest most loving person I know, he's been nothing but an [sic] wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him would say the same.'
This is most likely a reference to the news that Heard has been granted a restraining order against Depp, after filing court documents alleging that he assaulted her. 'I live in fear that Johnny will return to (our house) unannounced to terrorise me, physically and emotionally,' she wrote in a sworn declaration.
She later posted a screenshot from an article posted on People magazine's website, which says: 'The Los Angeles Police Department investigated Amber Heard's domestic abuse claim against Johnny Depp on May 21, but found no proof that a crime had occurred, a police spokesman tells People.'
Meanwhile, Johnny's former partner Vanessa Paradis (mother of Lily-Rose and John 'Jack' Christopher Depp, 14) has penned a handwritten letter in support of the actor, who she was in a relationship with for 14 years.
Published by TMZ and dated 27th May, the letter echoes Lily-Rose's sentiments, and reads: 'Johnny Depp is the father of my two children, he is a sensitive, loving and loved person, and I believe with all my heart that these recent allegations being made are outrageous.'
'In all the years I have known Johnny, he has never been physically abusive with me, and this looks nothing like the man I lived with for 14 wonderful years.'
Depp's lawyers have responded to the allegations with a statement that 'Amber is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse.'
Amber and Johnny met in 2011 on the set of The Rum Diaries, and were married for 15 months before Heard filed for divorce this week, citing 'irreconcilable differences.'
