Johnny Depp’s seven year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, has been in a UK hospital for nine days. Her medical condition is not being revealed by newspapers, but is known by the hospital treating her.
Hollywood film star Johnny Depp’s young daughter is seriously ill in hospital, it was reported today.
The Mirror newspaper said Depp’s seven-year-old daughter Lily-Rose was rushed to a British hospital nine days ago as Depp, 43, took part in filming in the UK.
It said the Pirates Of The Caribbean star, who has enthused about the joys of fatherhood, and his partner Vanessa Paradis are keeping a round-the-clock vigil on the youngster.
The Mirror said it knew what Lily-Rose’s medical condition was and where she was being treated but was not revealing those details to protect the family’s privacy.
Depp and his longterm partner, French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis, are staying with their daughter day and night as she is treated. They also have a four year-old son, Jack.
Depp was filming Sweeney Todd in the UK when Lily-Rose fell ill.
I hope she gets well soon and that it’s nothing long term. It is devastating when a child is ill and my heart goes out to them.
Update: Lily-Rose had blood poisoning from a rusty tack she stepped on. According to In Touch’s website (no permalink available) “Blood poisoning… spread through her body and has affected her vital organs,” and one of her kidneys was failing, although that no longer seems to be the case. She is said to be doing much better now according to Johnny Depp’s rep.

Very happy to see CB is back!!
OMG the poor kid!I hope she is safe and doing well now.

They probably mean septicemia, sounds like it from the symptoms and it can be called blood poisoning. I had that after an auto accident 12 years ago, spent 2 months in a coma. It’s nasty stuff. My kidneys, liver, all kinds of organs failed but when they finally got rid of the infection they did start functioning again. I have many permanent problems though, one of my kidneys doesnt function properly, my lungs are damaged, I lost an eye and an ear drum. If they fixed it in 9 days hopefully it didnt get bad enough to cause too much permanent damage.

Sorry to hear that, Carol. Sounds like a horrible ordeal.
Lily looks so much like her dad. I just hope she makes it through. My brother has a four year old and a newborn. If anything happened to them, you’d have to scrape me off the floor.

Carol that sounds horrible and thank goodness your recovered. 2 months in a coma! I have had long term illness in my life and it really changed everything for me. That is great that you are doing ok now.
It would break my heart if anything happened to my son.

It’s a nasty thing, and any infection can turn septic. It’s in your blood so it permeates your entire body. It has a 50% mortality rate and that doesn’t include the people with permanent brain damage from the high fever. She’s a lucky little girl to be recovering so fast.

Glad you pulled throught a septic episode Carol! those things are just nasty!
Poor child, let’s hope she fully recovers. This is one of the thing I wouldn’t wish to my worst enemy; seeing his child suffer…

This is just scary news. Hate to say this, but you can never be an ‘over’protective parent. When I have kids, I won’t be leaving them alone for a second. Hope the little girl recovers fully and her kidney isn’t damaged. It’s too much for an 8-year-old to go through. I wish her and her family all the best.
how upsetting!
I heard that a cd by the rock band lovedrug matches up perfectly to the movie edward scissor hands–but check this; you turn your ipod/cd player on shuffle. I think the cd is called everything starts where it ends.
