Days after Amber Heard filed for divorce and accused estranged husband Johnny Depp of abuse, the Pirates of the Caribbean star's family is speaking out and defending the actor. Depp's 17-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, posted the above shot of the two and wrote, "My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know, he's been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him would say the same."

On top of that, Depp's former partner, and Lily-Rose's mother, Vanessa Paradis, wrote a letter defending the star, which was obtained by TMZ. Paradis, who was with Depp from 1998 to 2012, calls Heard's claims "outrageous" and wrote:

    To whom it may concern,

    Johnny Depp is the father of my two children, he is a sensitive, loving and loved person, and I believe with all my heard that these recent allegations being made are outrageous. In all the years I have known Johnny, he has never been physically abusive with me and this looks nothing like the man I lived with for 14 wonderful years.

    Sincerely,
    Vanessa Paradis


Heard claims Depp smashed an iPhone into her face and bruising her eye, and she also alleges that his drug and alcohol use were behind his violent rages. Heard got a temporary restraining order against Depp this week, and a hearing will take place next month.
