USAToday offers a statement from Johnny Depp’s publicist, Robin Baum, in response to the news that Lily-Rose has been hospitalized in London.

Without going into detail, she simply says Lily-Rose is “doing much better,” and that “the family greatly appreciates the continued support and respect of their privacy.”

Wonderful news! Please keep those thoughts and prayers going, though, for a quick and full recovery.

I am breathing a huge sigh of relief for the Depp/Paradis family. It is so good to hear that she is taking a step in the right direction. Even though she isn’t my child, I have been on pins and needles worried about her welfare.
I am definitely still keeping Lily-Rose and her family in my thoughts in prayers for hopes of a fast and full recovery.
Much Love

I’m not very good at knowing exactly the right thing to say. At a time like this, if I was there in person and looking into your eyes, Vanessa and Johnny, my feelings woud come across much stronger than my words. Please know that many people are very upset by this news. I hope it’s true that Lily Rose is doing much better.You have more love and positive energy being channelled to you right now than you know.You don’t know me, but love, much love and prayers to you all, including your extended family.Pamela Murray

AMEN! Here is another article as well. Thank God!Johnny Depp’s Daughter In British HospitalLONDON (March 8, 2007) — Johnny Depp’s daughter, Lily-Rose, is recovering after falling seriously ill in Britain.
The actor, who is filming “Sweeney Todd” in the UK, has reportedly been sneaking in service entrances of an undisclosed medical facility to visit the seven year old, British tabloids reported last night.
Lily Rose was rushed to the hospital nine days ago, both The Sun and the Mirror claimed. Depp and his partner, French actress Vanessa Paradis havebeen visiting the hospital to keep a bedside vigil for their daughter.
Depp’s publicist told Access Hollywoodthis morning, Lily-Rose’s condition has improved.
“We are happy to report that their daughter is doing much better. The family greatly appreciates the continued support and respect of their privacy.”

JOHNNY AND VANESSA, HANG IN THERE! MANY PRAYERS AND SUPPORT FROM YOUR VERY LOYAL FANS! GOD BLESS YOU LILY ROSE DEPP

I am so relieved to hear this most welcome news. I have not stopped thinking about or praying for Johnny and Lily-Rose and the entire family. And will continue to do so until the child has made a complete recovery. I know the poor man must be frantic and needs everyone’s prayers and support. Keep the faith, Johnny. She will pull through.

Rose Says:

Oh, thank god. I was upset about this all day. She’s got so many well-wishers out there, though, it’s lovely to see.

Its great news to hear Lilly-Rose is getting better. My thoughts are with Johnny, Vanessa and the rest of the family. I know how much Johnny dotes on his family. Hopefully Lilly-Rose will be her normal well self again very soon. I hope the media leaves them all alone at a time like this and gives them the privacy they need, although it is nice for the up-date that Lilly-Rose is getting better. Take care Depp family, we all send our love and best wishes.

Thank goodness she is doing better. As someone posted yesteday, Johnny is not a celebrity first, but a father. As a mom who has had to watch her own child when she was ill, I can totally empathize with what they are going through. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is as important as your children’s health. I only hope this is a temporary illness, and that she will be fully recovered soon. My thoughts and good wishes are with Johnny and Vanessa.~Barby

I hope that Johnny and Vanessa somehow and someday learn how much love and positive energy has been sent to them through all of his fans and followers. Whenever I was facing a particularly stressful or painful time, my mother would say to me, “I’m sending all of my strength your way”, and I believed it, even though miles separated us. I have been through many traumatic experiences, including the death of my wonderful mother, but I have never doubted the power of prayer and positive thought. Johnny is not just an actor who entertains us, he is a personal friend and an inspiration. I will continue to pray for Lily and her family and will only truly relax when we know that she is home and well.

i have heard an update saying that she had blood poisoning after stepping on a rusty nail, which is why she was so sick. It can spread to the surrounding organs which would have made her seriously ill.My thoughts and prayers to Johnny, Vanessa, Jack and of course, Lily-Rose

Just got this.
Depp family crisis: In Touch reports that Lily-Rose, Johnny Depp’s 7-year-old daughter, is near death after an untreated rusty nail wound poisoned her blood.
No idea if it’s true or not.

My heartfelt prayers go out to little Lily Rose. I was so upset when I heard the news as I was really hoping it wasn’t true. I just don’t understand why bad things happen to good people. Anyhow, to Johnny and Vanessa just remenber to stay strong and keep the faith knowing that everything will be fine in the end. The lord takes care of his and so I’m sure he’ll take care of your little girl. God bless you all!
Lots of Luv,Yolee

I have been so incredibly riveted by these events so am very comforted by seeing everyone’s good wishes and support for Johnny, Lily-Rose and the family. May she continue to get better each day and may Johnny get to bring his little girl home very soon. I send my warmest thoughts out to him at such a distressing and frightening time.

No wonder Johnny and family live where they do. It’s great that the entertainment news industry over there is protecting their privacy. Ashame that same consideration isn’t practiced by various sources here in the US. I love my country and our freedoms but common human decency should be the rule. Prayers for a speedy recovery to little Lilly Rose and to soothing the pain and worry Mom, Dad and brother Jack are experiencing. God Bless you all

I only heard of this today…I am sooo sorry that they have to go through this…I remember my oldest with just a double ear infection…taking him to the emergency room, hearing him not crying, but sobbing….make you wish you could trade places with your child so that you have to feel the pain and not them…the fear, the worry, very scary…I am very pleased to hear that she is doing better, as I’m sure they are too….very hard for a parent to see their child sick and be helpless….my heart goes out to Johnny and Vanessa, and so do my prayers….God Bless you all…

Lots of love and all my best whises for Lilly Rose and The Depp family. Know how its feels like deep down in my chest, to have an ill child. Understand that Johnny and Vanessa must be madly worried.
Get well soon, little girl

It’s great that Lily’s on the mend and home from the hospital–I hope and pray that her recovery is quick and complete! I am surprised how much I was affected by this, mainly for Johnny’s sake, I suppose, even though I’ve only recently become a serious admirer of his work. I guess I just don’t want him to be seriously hurt; and if something bad had happened to his partner or one of his children, it would have destroyed him. Anyway, peace, love and courage to Lily and her family! Am sending her personal angels, and hoping her own guardian angels work overtime! And courage to all here who have posted above about this!!
