Depp celebrates daughter's recovery

Johnny Depp has been celebrating since his eight-year-old daughter recovered from an illness from which she suffered earlier this year.

The actor's girl, Lily-Rose, was taken to a hospital in London to be treated for an undisclosed health problem while Depp was in the country filming Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Depp has refused to give out details of his daughter's illness but has claimed that life has become much better since she was given the all-clear.

He told Entertainment Weekly magazine: "Now every single millisecond is a mini-celebration.

"Every time we get to breathe in and exhale is a huge victory. She pulled through beautifully, perfectly, with no lasting anything".

Depp also thanked director Tim Burton and the crew of his film for supporting him at the time, saying: "Knowing that those people, Tim and the crew, shut down and stood by and waited... I didn't know if I was coming back. I remember talking with Tim, saying, `Maybe you need to recast.'"
