Just two days after the conclusion of her contentious divorce proceedings with ex-husband Johnny Depp, Amber Heard has donated the $7 million she received in the settlement to two charities. Depp denied all allegations of abuse toward Heard and in preliminary hearings, his legal representation suggested that his estranged wife was merely looking to financially capitalize on their divorce. “On behalf of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ leadership, staff and the thousands of brave patients and their families who will benefit from this donation, I would like to thank Amber Heard for this tremendous gift. Her generosity will support the lifesaving treatments and cures that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles provides for critically ill children each year,” Viviano said in a statement. libby.hill@latimes.comTwitter: @midwestspitfireALSOJohnny Depp and Amber Heard reach divorce settlement, avoid court hearingAmber Heard alleges Johnny Depp physically abused her; judge grants her a restraining orderJohnny Depp's attorney on domestic violence allegations: 'Amber has tried her claims in the media'
