Johnny Depp also has a four-year-old son with actress wife Vanessa Paradis, and he also is reported to have said: "What got us through this wasn't the strength of Vanessa or me but our daughter and her incredible ability to make us feel OK even though she was very unwell. She was super-strong."
Johnny Depp had been working on the Tim Burton film Sweeney Todd at Pinewood Studios in the UK when his daughter was became ill.
Johnny Depp has starred in previous movies directed by Tim Burton such as Edward Scissorhands.
