\u201cHe broke free and went after the sheep. Two were killed. It was all very traumatic.\u201d<\/p>\n
The incident is understood to have taken place on farmland neighbouring Depp\u2019s country property, which he is believed to be renting for around \u00a312,000 ($27,600) a month.<\/p>\n
Ginger is said to be \u201cunderstandably furious\u201d.<\/p>\n
Sources told the Sun such attacks are not uncommon in the area when dogs are inadequately trained.<\/p>\n
Depp was reportedly distressed when informed of what had happened, particularly as he has sought privacy and quiet at the East Sussex home.<\/p>\n
The 19th-century mansion, dating back to the mid-1800s, has landscaped grounds and a distinctive sunken walled garden.<\/p>\n
It is close to the former home of Depp\u2019s late friend, guitarist Jeff Beck, who died in 2023.<\/p>\n
The sheep were valued at about \u00a3180 each, according to a local smallholder.<\/p>\n
The land where the animals were killed is believed to be owned by the same landlord who rents out Depp\u2019s property.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles-born actor has faced dog-related controversies before.<\/p>\n
In 2015, his Yorkshire Terriers, Boo and Pistol, were flown into Australia on a private jet with his then wife Amber Heard.<\/p>\n
Authorities threatened to euthanise the animals within 72 hours unless they were removed, claiming they had been brought into the country without the necessary quarantine documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cHe broke free and went after the sheep.
