Seven-year-old Lily-Rose was rushed into hospital at the end of February while the actor was shooting the film Sweeney Todd at Pinewood Studios.
She was suffering from potentially fatal E.coli poisoning.
Depp, 43, said: "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 Depp and Vanessa Paradis's daughter Lily-Rose was dangerously ill
"It was a reminder to us of how lucky we are to be able to breathe, walk, talk, think and surround ourselves with people we love."
Lily-Rose is Depp's daughter with long-term girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, 34.
They also have a fouryear- old son, John Jack.
E.coli - commonly associated with improperly cooked meat - caused Lily- Rose's kidneys to shut down.
Depp refused to return to the set of Sweeney Todd until she was out of danger.
He told the Daily Mirror: "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 superstrong."
The Hollywood star is staying at the Dorchester hotel while filming the Tim Burton-directed movie which also stars Helena Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman.
Depp said his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series had been a "big flip" for his career.
"When I decided to take the role it was pure instinct. I didn't know it was going to be such a huge hit."
