Carefree Amber Heard flips her hair and smiles in selfie snapped by daughter Oonagh, five, as her ex Johnny Depp sets major Hollywood comeback

Amber Heard appeared carefree as she flipped her hair and flashed a big smile in a selfie that was taken by her five-year-old daughter Oonagh. 

The 40-year-old actress, who relocated to Spain following the 2022 defamation trial with her ex Johnny Depp, shared the image to her main Instagram page on Saturday. 

The Aquaman star donned a black tank top as well as a pair of light blue denim jeans while sitting at a table underneath the warm sunshine. 

Heard's blonde locks whipped behind her as she turned away from the camera in the lighthearted image. 

In the caption of the latest post, the mom-of-three revealed to her followers that her daughter had been the one to capture the snap.    

Daily Mail has reached out to a rep of Heard for comment, but has yet to hear back. 

The star has recently been active on social media and gave fans a glimpse into her secluded life in Spain. 

Late last month, Heard uploaded a picture as she treated herself to dinner at a three Michelin star restaurant. 

She stopped by El Celler de Can Roca in the city of Girona, where the festival menu could cost around €315 ($352) per person. 

The actress flashed a big grin while looking through the expansive wine list and donned a vibrant red dress for the occasion. 

Her long locks were styled into a chic updo, revealing a pair of dainty earrings which completed the outfit. 

'Now this is my kind of wine list,' The Rum Diary star typed out alongside the image.

And earlier this month, Heard shared the special moment she completed her first half marathon. 

She looked ecstatic after completing the 21.1K race and was surrounded by other runners during the event. 

'First half marathon, eskerrik asko Donosti! 21 kilometers in 1:39 min!!' the actress typed out. 

She donned a light purple sports bra as well as a pair of matching shorts and comfy sneakers for the run. 

Back in 2023, Heard officially moved to Spain with her daughter Oonagh and began rebuilding her life mostly out of the spotlight.

And last year in May, the actress announced that she had welcomed twins named Agnes and Ocean.

She uploaded an image to Instagram on Mother's Day showing the twins' feet as well as her eldest daughter's.

'This year I am elated beyond words to celebrate the completion of the family I've strived to build for years. Today I officially share the news that I welcomed twins into the Heard gang.'

She reflected on how her 'world changed forever' when Oonagh was born and gushed that she 'couldn't possibly burst with more joy' with the addition of her twins.

Heard got candid about motherhood and battling her 'own fertility challenges.'

'I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully. To all the moms, wherever you are today and however you got here, my dream family and I are celebrating with you. Love always, A.'

Earlier this year in January, Heard made rare remarks on how the 2022 defamation trial with Depp impacted her life years later.

She had opened up about the topic in the documentary Silenced which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival at the time.

Following a highly-publicized trial, Heard was ordered to pay Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages.

She was also awarded $2 million in compensatory damages for her countersuit against the actor.

'This is not about me. I have lost my ability to speak. I am not here to tell my story,' Heard said in a confessional for the documentary, per Variety.

'In fact, I don't want to use my voice anymore. That's the problem,' she further told the director of the film Selina Miles.

In December 2022, the defamation case between the actress and Depp was settled and she took to her main Instagram page to release a statement.

She eventually paid her ex-husband $1 million in damages following a negotiation, with Depp giving the money to five charities, per People.

Four years following the defamation trial, Depp is setting sights on his major Hollywood comeback. 

Last month, it was revealed that the actor could be set for a triumphant return to Hollywood after his turn as iconic miser Ebenezer Scrooge scored well during an early test screening, according to a report. 

Puck's Matthew Belloni made the revelation. He cited an August 11 test screening of 'Ebenezer' attended by Paramount studio heads Josh Greenstein and Dana Goldberg in Paramus, New Jersey.

Sources also told Belloni, widely seen as Hollywood's go-to source for insider information, that the 'A Christmas Carol' spinoff scored well overall.

But the 'real interest' revolved around Depp, whose last major studio film role came as the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in the Harry Potter-inspired 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.'

The film was released in 2018. Legal battles with his ex-wife, Amber Heard, lost Depp the role in 2020.

Pirates of the Caribbean showrunners distanced themselves from the star, at the time. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed the actor was in talks to reprise that role at an event in August.

All eyes were thus on Depp. 'And much to the relief of the Paramount execs - and, to a certain extent, the rest of Hollywood - they loved him,' Belloni wrote.

Depp scored an 86 out of 100 as the Dickensian character, according to Belloni, when the accepted average for a male lead is around 67.

He also scored extremely well with women over 35, a demo some suspected may have been less kind considering Heard, 40, alleged the actor physically and sexually abused her over the course of their relationship, Belloni noted.

Depp scored at least 90 percent in the demo, sources told the Puck founder, adding that he confirmed the numbers 'with three sources.'

Depp, in-character and in-costume, appeared at Comic-Con in San Diego in July to plug the film. 

The dark fantasy film, Ebenezer, is set to hit theaters on November 13. 

The movie was directed by Ti West, who is also known for films such as X, Pearl and MaXXXine.

Other stars that have been cast in the project include Harry Potter alum Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Sam Claflin, Daisy Ridley, Tramell Tillman and Ian McKellen.

The movie is an adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1843 novel.
