Depp in vigil for ill daughter

JOHNNY DEPP was last night keeping a vigil for his seriously ill daughter at a British hospital.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor was due to start filming a new movie in England when LILY-ROSE, seven, became sick.

He and his partner VANESSA PARADIS have spent the last nine days with their little girl, who is in a “serious condition”. The couple, who live in France with Lily-Rose and their four-year-old son Jack, have been coming into the hospital via a staff entrance.

They travel in a blacked-out people carrier with their security team.

A hospital source said: “They are worried sick — but Lily-Rose is getting the very best treatment available.”

The Sun knows the name of the hospital and the nature of the illness but we are not printing them to protect the family’s privacy.

American Depp, 43, is in Britain to shoot the screen version of hit musical "Sweeney Todd" at Pinewood Studios in Bucks.

He is playing Sweeney — the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

The devoted dad usually takes his family with him when he is filming.

A studio source said: “Johnny is deeply concerned about his daughter.

“As soon as he heard that she is unwell he went to her bedside.

“He will do anything for his kids.”

Depp’s spokesman declined to comment.

I'd like to ask please that folks not speculate here nor post rumor.

We all know the STAR is a rag newspaper so the "facts" may not be.

If you hear something viable from the news then that is fine of course but please, no hear say from other sites. We all know that fan sites fill themselves up with Bilge.

If we get anything that is cleared to share publicly we will.

Thanks mates....

Hmmm found the same story in several places as well.

Here is one from CNN where the publicist of Johnny Depp said she will be okay..Thank God! And what a beautiful name she has.

It's certainly not a 'made-up' story. It's been in all the papers around here.

The first reports were from UK tabloids, of which the stories were repeated on Foxnews and USA. There may be some truth to the story but we may never know all the details. Johnny is very protective of his family and their privacy is always top priority. It's none of anyone's business anyway and a sick child should not be exploited to sell more tabloids.

Any parent can tell you that a sick child is the worst heartache a parent can go thru. And it's during that time, that people need to give space to the parents.

Of course we all wish the child to be well and hopefully she is on the road to a complete recovery from her illness or injury.
