Depp recently won a defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, who was ordered to pay him more than $10 million in damages, while he was ordered to pay her $2 million in a separate verdict.
The actor's first video on TikTok showed him waving to crowds of fans who supported him through the trial and featured footage of people holding up placards with positive messages for him.
He also wrote a message to his fans which read: 'To all of my most treasured, loyal and unwavering supporters. We’ve been everywhere together, we have seen everything together.
'We have walked the same road together. We did the right thing together, all because you cared. And now, we will all move forward together.'

Having been viewed more than 24 million times and garnered more than seven million likes, it's a hugely popular opening on the platform for Depp.
Whether he'll continue using TikTok in the future or only ventured onto the platform as a way of communicating with his younger fans remains to be seen, though if he does post more videos, the audience for them will be huge.
