Johnny Depp has spoken about the strength of his "wonderful" daughter during her recent life- threatening health scare.

The 43-year-old actor was terrified when seven-year-old Lily-Rose was rushed to hospital in March after contracting the potentially fatal E.coli bacteria, but his daughter's courage gave him hope.

Johnny and his long-term partner Vanessa Paradis kept a constant bedside vigil when daughter Lily-Rose was admitted to a London hospital with what was initially thought to be blood poisoning. The couple were distraught when they discovered their daughter had actually contracted the deadly bug, which caused her kidneys to shut down.

Depp says "It gave us a great scare. 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."

"It was a very bumpy patch but she has come through it beautifully and unscathed and she is now as healthy as she always was. She is wonderful."

Johnny who is currently shooting 'Sweeney Todd' in London revealed the scare made him realise how blessed he is.

"It is a reminder to us of how lucky we are to be able to breathe, walk, talk, think and surround ourselves with people we love."

The couple also have a five-year-old son, John Jack.
