LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- Lily-Rose Depp revealed she falls on the LGBTQ spectrum over the weekend.

"I'm so proud of my baby girl @lilyrose_depp," Wright captioned Depp's photo on Instagram. "She decided she wanted to be in @selfevidentproject because she falls somewhere on the vast spectrum, and I couldn't be happier to welcome her to the family."

Depp is the 9,958 person to take part in the campaign, which Wright intends to eventually display in front of the Washington Monument. The teenager's stepmother, actress Amber Heard, and model Cara Delevingne are among the other celebrities who participated.
