Johnny Depp’s seven year old daughter Lily-Rose is apparently extremely ill and has been in the hospital for the past nine days, with Depp and his long-time girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis, having barely left her side. A source at the hospital says:
“The staff immediately recognised him when he walked through the door. He has not asked for any special favours but just wants the best for his child, like any parent. It is such a difficult time for him but he is hanging in there for the sake of his daughter and the whole family is just praying that she gets better. They are taking each day as it comes. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster for all of them and he’s been worrying himself silly. He wouldn’t wish this on anyone and has been finding it hard keeping it together. He’s a devoted dad and is spending as much time as he can with Lily.”
Damn that’s pretty awful. Not much to say here except that I hope she gets better.
UPDATE: Apparently the original cause of Lily-Rose’s illness was an untreated prick by a rusty tack which caused blood poisoning that spread through her body and affected her vital organs. She’s reportedly doing much better now though, which is more than I can say about the last guy I fought in a bare knuckles fighting match. Unless getting beaten to death by fists is considered ‘doing much better.’ Then yeah, I guess he is.

His wife looks ill…very ill
edb87 | March 8, 2007 at 9:29 am
Poor girl. Hopefully all is well soon!
Danner | March 8, 2007 at 9:30 am
Now that sucks. :(
HerpesHilton | March 8, 2007 at 9:30 am
That is very sad. I find it interesting that nobody has mentioned what exactly is wrong with her. Hope things turn out well.
RichPort | March 8, 2007 at 9:32 am
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Good one Fish! It’s been a very long time since you really delivered some high quality deadpan humor. Thanks for the belly laugh!
HollyJ | March 8, 2007 at 9:32 am
Looks like someone beat his wife with the Ugly Stick. She makes me shudder with revulsion deep in my naughty bits. I esp love that sexy 6″ space between her front two teeth.
Wonder what could make a kid THAT sick? I wonder what she has..? There’s no more information than this??
I hope she gets better. (And doesn’t look like her mother.)
DrunkBlogger | March 8, 2007 at 9:33 am
Wait…Johnny Depp is French?
Nikk The Templar | March 8, 2007 at 9:34 am
Poor little Lily.
I hope it’s nothing serious.
arden | March 8, 2007 at 9:34 am
Having a sick child is a nightmare. I hope they have a good handle on whatever is wrong.
jrzmommy | March 8, 2007 at 9:35 am
I think they had her hospitalized because she tipped the scale at 23 lbs, putting the total family weight over 100 lbs, which Depp considers to be excessive.
llllllllll | March 8, 2007 at 9:35 am
Does “extremely ill” sound serious enough? I doubt it’s just volcanic bouts of diareah
danielle | March 8, 2007 at 9:36 am
Only a retard would make fun of such a sad event.
Prick.
biatcho | March 8, 2007 at 9:38 am
She became unresponsive after accidentally watching Johnny’s home video where he “wrestles” Orlando Bloom in his trailer on the set of the last Pirates movie.
Kramer | March 8, 2007 at 9:40 am
“Lily”? I thought her name was Susan.
Kramer | March 8, 2007 at 9:40 am
Poor Susan.
jesseeca | March 8, 2007 at 9:42 am
I hope that kid is not 7 years old in the photo. Probably shoudln’t be that little & probably should still be carried around.
beifiori | March 8, 2007 at 9:42 am
I hate hearing about sick kids and hope she gets better quickly, 100% better. It’s got to be tough on them all to have their dtr so sick.
mrs.t | March 8, 2007 at 9:44 am
So…Fish (or whoever it is now) has given up celeb humor – and with good reason, at this point – and is now just parroting whatever comes over the news wire. Gee, what a fun site.
meee | March 8, 2007 at 9:48 am
johnny would be way better off with me than that girl with the gap between her teeth.
i don’t think i’ve ever seen pictures of johnny’s kids before. weird. let’s hope she gets better quick!
HollyJ | March 8, 2007 at 9:50 am
She looks to be about three in that photo. She has the body habitus of a late toddler.
veggi | March 8, 2007 at 9:50 am
coulda gone all day not hearing that.
LL | March 8, 2007 at 9:51 am
I wonder if Johnny is hanging upside down right now and gulping fistfuls of antidepressants. I heard somewhere that will make you feel better. I’m doing it right now…
mika85 | March 8, 2007 at 9:54 am
poor baby, i hope she gets better soon. :(
HoraceMcTittiesworth | March 8, 2007 at 9:56 am
As much as I loathe Johnny Depp, and as ugly as his girlfriend is, it’s sad that their daughter is sick :-(
jrzmommy | March 8, 2007 at 10:00 am
I heard that Liza Minelli developed a very bad case of the shingles.
ImaCracka | March 8, 2007 at 10:00 am
That sucks……… never wish sick kids on any one….
Unless your an enemy… and the final year of my military career you take my job and send me to Iraq… and while i am there you have my family moved to a different base so i cant retire from the base I left from……..
Unless you are that person….. then i wish death upon your entire family….
And yes that happened……
Oh sorry… went off on a rant… Hey Depp… hope your kid gets better…..
jrzmommy | March 8, 2007 at 10:00 am
John Travolta has gout.
fame is funny | March 8, 2007 at 10:01 am
She might have caught a cold from the draft blowing out of that gap in that girls teeth.
jrzmommy | March 8, 2007 at 10:01 am
Chris Rock has treatment-resistant hemorrhoids.
Truthseeker013 | March 8, 2007 at 10:01 am
Nothing but best wishes for him and his family at this time.
blueballs | March 8, 2007 at 10:02 am
I hope his daughter didn’t get into his drug stash!!!!
jrzmommy | March 8, 2007 at 10:03 am
Tom Cruise has a troubling yeast infection.
jpjrocks | March 8, 2007 at 10:04 am
Ping Pow i thought he was gonna shit
jrzmommy | March 8, 2007 at 10:04 am
Fergie is still suffering complications from her circumcision.
kamihi | March 8, 2007 at 10:13 am
Damn Depp and Paradis have to be one of the nicest couples, although even if it was a kid of a skank I would still hope for it to get better.
TashaVin` | March 8, 2007 at 10:14 am
Get Well Soon, Lilly…
We shouldn’t have picked on Whatsesface, now we got the fantastic MrDepp on superfish :-( He’s so dreamy…

Yes, he is a citizen of France. Has been since 2001.
GeannaSparrow | March 8, 2007 at 10:22 am
As a loyal Johnny Depp fan, I have to thank the Superfish man for not making fun of this. I really hope she gets well soon.
I hate it when bad things happen to good people.
I love you, Johnny. <3
elizabeththewellread | March 8, 2007 at 10:31 am
Nothing to razz anyone about here. Thanks, Fish, for the update–I’m sending good vibes her way directly.
Lowlands | March 8, 2007 at 10:38 am
I’ll guess Vanessa Paradis is doing Johnny Depp’s laundry,cooking and housekeeping quite well because he seems to be ‘heureux’ with her.
Lowlands | March 8, 2007 at 10:40 am
And ofcourse she seems to be ‘heureuse’with him.
UNCLE NED | March 8, 2007 at 10:41 am
Kids are sick and dying everyday, and to parents with less than 1% of this guy’s money and clout. I hope his kid gets better, but this story is incomplete without some idea of what she’s suffering from. The Mirror is holding back that information “out of respect for family privacy”. So why even report it? I guess it’s good publicity for Depp, apparently the father-of-the-year for visiting his own sick child in hospital. Anyway, good luck to them.
Flush it all away | March 8, 2007 at 10:42 am
What’s also pretty awful is that someone inside the hospital leaked this information. I know they’re celebrities and all, but it would be nice if a couple could suffer through their child’s serious illness without it being reported on Extra.
Hecubus | March 8, 2007 at 10:42 am
It’s going to come out that Vanessa Paradis has been sneaking into her room each night and drinking her blood.
I mean it’s sad but then thousands upon thousands of children die every day, eventually you just have to say, ‘Fuck it’
Ardee | March 8, 2007 at 10:44 am
It’s amazing that people can make it a point to “trash” Lily’s Mother in one of their darkest hours. Pathetic.. Truly pathetic.
With that said, I hope his little girl gets better.. there’s nothing worst than a child being sick.. your child.. my heart breaks for them.. Thoughts and prayers are with them in their time of need.
Red28 | March 8, 2007 at 10:45 am
That’s an extremely old photo. And Vanessa is gorgeous. Here are photos of the two of them that are a touch more recent. The one of Lily Rose is about two years old.

Forgive me for not being able to turn these into proper links. I suppose you can always just copy and paste it into a new window.
At any rate, I hope her daughter feels better very soon.
PrettyBaby | March 8, 2007 at 11:01 am
That is terrible and so sad.
But I really want to make Johnny Depp feel better some how….actually I can think of about 60 ways I can ease his suffering.
RichPort | March 8, 2007 at 11:02 am
I heard that the doctors are very concerned about extensive scarring in Lily’s anogenital region, and Johnny always avoids eye contact whenever they try to talk to him about it.
jFp | March 8, 2007 at 11:03 am
poor kid…
PrettyBaby | March 8, 2007 at 11:16 am
#48 Rich- Is it because of his large faux-french penis?? I think that I could find a way to ‘handle’ it.
