Johnny Depp’s daughter has defended her famous father following claims he assaulted his estranged wife Amber Heard.
Lily-Rose Depp, a 17-year-old model, posted an old baby photo of herself and her dad on Instagram alongside a message insisting he is not a violent person.
“My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know,” she wrote. “He’s been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I and everyone who knows him would say the same.”

Lily-Rose’s mother Vanessa Paradis has also spoken out in support of Depp, who she was in a relationship with for 14 years.
Paradis said claims Depp had assaulted Heard were “outrageous” in a note published by TMZ.
“In all the years I have known Johnny, he has never been physically abusive with me,” Paradis allegedly wrote. “This looks nothing like the man I lived with for 14 wonderful years.”

Depp’s first wife Lori Anne Allison agrees, saying the man she knew would “never assault a woman”.
Heard filed for divorce from Depp last week, after just 15 months of marriage. She then filed a domestic violence restraining order against the actor, saying he had assaulted her at least three times in the past six months.
In court documents Heard claimed she had been “living in fear” and was frequently “terrorised physically and emotionally”.
