Actor Johnny Depp has been ordered by a judge to stay 100 yards away from his estranged wife, Amber Heard.

Heard said in a sworn declaration that Depp threw her mobile phone at her during a fight on Saturday, striking her cheek and eye.

She submitted a picture of her bruised face when she applied for a restraining order on Friday.

Los Angeles superior court judge Carl H Moor also ruled that Depp should not try to contact Heard.

She filed for divorce on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences and saying the pair separated the day before.

She is seeking spousal support from the Pirates Of The Caribbean star, but Depp has asked a judge to deny the request.

Depp's lawyer, Laura Wasser, declined to comment. Depp is in Portugal for a performance with his band Hollywood Vampires.
