BATH, England, March 15 (UPI) -- Johnny Depp won't return to a British studio where he is filming "Sweeney Todd" until his daughter recovers from an illness she suffered, his publicist said.

Production on the Tim Burton-directed film was suspended until the actor is ready to return, E! News said.

Depp and longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis are looking after their daughter, Lily-Rose, 7, at their home in Bath, England.

"We've adjusted his schedule to fit in with his needs," DreamWorks said in a statement. "Everybody's with them in good spirits."

The crew at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire was told that it's out of work if Depp does not return to the set.

Lily-Rose, the elder of Depp's two children with Paradis, was discharged March 9 from a London hospital where she was admitted nine days before. The illness was not disclosed.

When the child was discharged, the actor's representative said she was "doing much better."
