'I didn't know if she would make it': Johnny Depp on his terror at nearly losing Lily-Rose when she was seven
Johnny Depp relived the horror of nearly losing daughter Lily-Rose to an E coli infection, at a charity concert on Thursday night.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star was being presented with the Rhonda's Kiss Healing And Hope Award at the Los Angeles event to raise money to support the needs of cancer patients.
And in his thank you speech he addressed the 'courage' of the 'parents in the room'.
'I was one of those parents, for weeks, when my daughter was ill,' he said, referring to the now 17-year-old's 2007 hospitalisation after an infection with E coli.

Today is the day everyone has been waiting for. Chanel showed their spring 2017 collection and it came complete with robotic heads!
If you're invited to this show, you know you're kind of a big deal and at just 17, Lily-rose Depp made the cut. Of course she has starred in Chanel campaigns, so it was hardly surprising she was on the guest list!
She looked super chic as she arrived in a pretty printed blouse with a cinched in waist that really showed off her tiny figure paired with chic white shorts and heels to lengthen her legs.
This piece isn't available to buy and Chanel isn't up for grabs online, but you can check out the spring 2017 line (right).
If you want to get the look of Lily-Rose, why not bag yourself a black printed shirt and pop on over a pair of your favourite shorts? And we've helpfully lined up some printed tops below to make things easier.
'I lived in the hospital for three weeks with my girl and my kid, not knowing if she was going to make it or not.'
Then seven, Lily-Rose developed kidney failure as a result of the infection. She spent nine days in a London hospital, with her father and mother Vanessa Paradis by her side.
Johnny pledged to continue his work with cancer patients.
'Parents, please note that you have my utter respect,' he said. 'Please note that you have all my respect, and you have my promise to continue to fight, this noble fight right alongside you at any time.

'We’ll just never give up. It’s as simple as that.'
Johnny also autographed one of his Signature Duesenberg Alliance Series guitars that was then auctioned off in aid ofRhonda's Kiss nonprofit organization.
The Hollywood star, 53, wore a dark three-piece suit and a pair of purple lens glasses.
His short hair was neatly styled and he sported a neatly trimmed goatee.
Johnny looked well and happy as he waved to fans while giving his acceptance speech.
