In Hollywood, she is known as an actress, model and the daughter of two global stars. Away from red carpets, however, Lily-Rose Depp leads a far less spectacular life than many might expect – in an elegant Los Angeles villa shared with her partner, rapper 070 Shake.

From the Chanel catwalk in Paris back to daily life in L.A.

On 9 March 2026, Lily-Rose Depp was once again in the glare of the cameras. At Chanel’s Autumn/Winter 2026/27 show at the Grand Palais in Paris, she drew every eye in a striking leopard-print look by designer Matthieu Blazy. The 25-year-old once more reinforced her status as a style icon and a loyal face of the fashion house.

Just a few days later, her life looks very different. Rather than haute couture, her attention returns to scripts, walks and coffee breaks around her Los Angeles neighbourhood. It is precisely this contrast that intrigues many fans – and makes a glimpse into her private world so compelling.

“Between film sets, fashion shows and everyday life in L.A., Lily-Rose Depp consistently tries to build a protected universe of her own.”

A career spanning Hollywood films and television roles

Professionally, Lily-Rose Depp has long since moved beyond the label of being merely someone’s daughter. She has built her own place in Hollywood. The remake of horror classic Nosferatu became a major box-office success, taking around $181 million worldwide.

Before that, she made headlines with the series The Idol, in which she appeared alongside musician The Weeknd. While the show divided critics and audiences, it also made her more widely recognised internationally. Her image now represents a new generation of stars working simultaneously across cinema, television and fashion campaigns.

Why Los Angeles feels like home to Lily-Rose Depp

She spends much of the year in Los Angeles, a city she has known since childhood and where she spent a large part of her adolescence. In interviews, she describes L.A. as a place where it is easy to create a personal “bubble”: much remains private, journeys are often made by car, and spontaneous crowds such as those found in major European cities are less common.

  • More privacy than in Paris or New York
  • Short journeys to studios, castings and shoots
  • A circle of friends from the music, fashion and film worlds
  • Mild weather all year round, ideal for life in the Hills

For someone who grew up with paparazzi, this partly shielded existence in the L.A. hills seems like a natural retreat.

The villa in the hills: open luxury and hidden privacy

Together with her partner, Lily-Rose Depp has retreated to a villa high above the city. Like many celebrity homes, the property sits in the elevated areas of Los Angeles, away from traffic noise and prying eyes.

When they moved in, photographers spotted the couple unloading boxes and furniture. From the outside, the house appears modern and bright, with expansive windows opening up views across the city. Inside, the villa combines a strong design sensibility with practical everyday living.

The kitchen at its heart: everyday life rather than a glamour display

The kitchen attracted particular attention after Lily-Rose Depp posted several Instagram photographs taken there. The images offer a rare look at her day-to-day life and reveal how thoughtfully the home’s central room has been designed.

“The kitchen feels like a statement: high-end fittings, yet used for the most ordinary moments – coffee, snacks, conversations.”

Several features define the space:

  • A large, open-plan kitchen with plenty of room to move around
  • An American-style fridge in brushed aluminium
  • A professional gas cooker with oven and warming function
  • A wall of wooden shelving in a warm honey-oak shade

The shelves provide room for decorative items, tableware and kitchen appliances, while giving the space a warm, almost homely feel despite its contemporary fittings. In her posts, the actress appears there less like a detached Hollywood diva and more like someone simply making breakfast.

A couple who protect their relationship

In private, Lily-Rose Depp has for some time been seen with US rapper 070 Shake, whose real name is Danielle Balbuena. Although they occasionally appear together in public, they keep their relationship largely out of the headlines.

Their shared Los Angeles home serves as a sanctuary. Away from events and paparazzi, the couple apparently spend much of their time doing simple things: cooking, listening to music, hosting friends and walking through the neighbourhood. The kitchen photographs at least suggest that the villa is less a status symbol for them than a personal home.

Why normality matters so much to her

Lily-Rose Depp repeatedly speaks about how attached she is to simple daily routines. Despite her famous parents and her own career in the public eye, she values small things: going to the supermarket, having a coffee downstairs from her flat, or walking through the city alone.

This deliberate turn towards ordinary life appears to be a direct response to her childhood, when photographers and cameras were ever-present. She has described herself as very shy when she was younger and recalls times when camera lenses were pointed at her even though she simply wanted to be a child.

Raised in the spotlight, now in control of her own choices

As the daughter of Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp, Lily-Rose was never entirely out of view. Even in her teenage years, the media took an interest in her style, friendships and first acting roles. Her parents tried to give her and her brother as normal an upbringing as possible, but exceptional circumstances were part of everyday life.

Today, Lily-Rose Depp repeatedly stresses that she makes her own decisions. She understands that her work puts her in the public eye and accepts that, but she sets firm boundaries. One area is meant to belong only to her: her private life, her home and her sense of normality within her own four walls.

“A career can be loud and dazzling – the Los Angeles home remains quiet, private and deliberately unassuming.”

Why celebrity villas are now far more than status symbols

Lily-Rose Depp’s Los Angeles villa joins a long list of famous homes in the hills surrounding Hollywood. Yet the role of such properties has shifted in recent years: they are no longer simply luxury purchases, but above all security zones. Tall hedges, long driveways and secluded entrances are intended to keep fans and paparazzi at a distance.

Young stars such as Lily-Rose Depp in particular use their homes as a filter between public and private life. Once the door closes, there are no camera flashes or social-media pressures, unless they consciously choose to offer a glimpse inside – perhaps through a few kitchen photographs.

For many of her followers, this carefully controlled look behind the scenes is especially appealing. They see not only the perfectly styled Chanel actress, but also the young woman standing in shorts and a T-shirt by the fridge, pouring herself a drink. This combination of outward glamour and inward normality is what defines the fascination surrounding her Los Angeles villa – and explains why every new snapshot from her Californian home attracts so much attention.
