Amber Heard enjoyed a low-key dinner out in Los Angeles on Saturday, just over a week after it emerged her ex Johnny Depp will directly pay her $6.8 million in their divorce settlement.

It's the first time the 30-year-old has been spotted since the news emerged, and the actress looked relaxed and in good spirits for dinner with a friend.

The star cut an effortlessly stylish figure in her jeans, ankle boots, and black long-sleeved shirt.

She accessorized the look with a silver and turquoise bracelets and several silver rings.

The Rum Diary actress wore her blonde locks down in loose waves, while keeping her makeup to just blush and mascara.

Heard's outing comes after it emerged earlier this month that she will reportedly follow through on an initial promise to donate her $7 million divorce settlement to charity within the next two years, according to TMZ.

The actress elected to gift the multi-million dollar pay-out to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles following an acrimonious and highly publicised split with Hollywood star Johnny in August.

But while the promised donation is yet to be made, sources tell TMZ she will begin the process of handing over her settlement money in its entirety as soon as it is paid.

Depp, 53, who previously gifted both organisations $200,000 in his ex-wife’s name, is expected to pay Amber the remaining $6.8 million.

She is expected to receive the payment within the next 12-months, with Heard reportedly aiming to fulfil her promise by the end of 2018.

The former couple now are close to finalizing their divorce, a source previously told People.

TMZ previously claimed that Depp intended to pay the full amount directly to each of the charities, but Heard wanted him to pay the money to her so that she can donate it herself.

The website alleges that Heard does not want her ex-husband to receive a tax deduction on the donations.

Heard filed for divorce from the Pirates Of The Caribbean star in May after one year of marriage, and obtained a temporary restraining order against him five days later.

She alleged that the actor was 'verbally and physically abusive' throughout their relationship and provided photographs of her battered face as evidence of abuse, along with witness statements.

However Depp's lawyers alleged that Heard was 'attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse' because on an occasion that police were called to her home, she said there had been a 'verbal dispute only' and officers saw no evidence of a crime at the time.

Heard and Depp reached a settlement in August, with Amber receiving the $7million and dismissing her restraining order against Johnny.

In a joint statement to announce their divorce settlement, Johnny and Amber said: 'Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love.

'Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm.'
