Lily-Rose Depp arrived from LAX this Thursday and was greeted with a passionate kiss from her rapper friend 070 Shake.
Johnny Depp’s 23-year-old daughter energetically wrapped her arms around her lover as they indulged in a steamy lip-lock on the sidewalk.
Lily-Rose was clearly overjoyed to be back in the company of 070 Shake and could be seen giggling amid their public display of affection.
Lily-Rose swept her blonde hair into a high ponytail and went braless under a thin white crop top that showed off her impressively tight midriff.
She has just returned to the United States after attending the Cannes Film Festival to premiere her controversial mini-series The Idol, which features a striking scene where she masturbates with ice cubes.

Lily-Rose, who holds both French and American citizenship, was a California casual figure as she stepped out on the City Of Angels this week.
She paired her top with a pair of floppy black sweats and a matching leather purse, while donning sleek cat-eye sunglasses.
The King star, whose mother is French singer Vanessa Paradis, gave the look a touch of sparkle with a subtle necklace.
Lily-Rose has been dating 070 Shake, whose real name is Danielle Balbuena, since January, but only went public with the romance this month.
She broke the news with an Instagram photo of herself kissing 070 Shake, gushing in the caption, “4 MONTHS WITH MY CRUSH.”
The post finally confirmed a wave of suspicion that has been raging since Lily-Rose and 070 Shake were glimpsed together at Paris Fashion Week in February.
Lily-Rose made waves at Cannes this week, creating a storm with her co-star The Weeknd, who co-created The Idol with former nightlife entrepreneur Reza Fahim and Sam Levinson, the writer behind Euphoria.
Sam, whose own history with drugs helped inspire Euphoria, is Lily-Rose’s fellow fake baby as the son of acclaimed director Barry Levinson.
Featuring a cast that also includes Troye Sivan, The Idol follows a pop star who falls for a cult-leading nightclub owner, according to deadline.

At its Cannes premiere, The Idol received a five-minute standing ovation, but also provoked a string of scathing reactions from critics.
Gregory Ellwood of The Playlist called the second episode “Sexist, pseudo-porn,” while Kyle Buchanan of the New York Times dismissed the show as “a Pornhub homepage odyssey” starring “Lily-Rose Depp’s areolas,” and The Wrap called it “luxury sleaze.”
“Lots of strong reactions to #TheIdol from #Cannes2023 – ranging from ‘I hated it’ to ‘the TV version of clickbait’ to ‘I don’t want to see Lily-Rose Depp naked again,'” tweeted Variety reporter Ramin Setoodeh , author of the bestselling book Ladies Who Punch about the backstage drama at The View.
Much of the chatter revolved around Lily-Rose’s raunchy role, which at one point involves a clear portrayal of her character with cum on her face.
Insiders told Rolling Stone in March that the show was almost completely reshot to make it less feminine.
Pet Sematary actress Amy Seimetz, who also helmed films like Sun Don’t Shine and She Dies Tomorrow, is said to have directed about 80 percent of The Idol before leaving the project.
The Weeknd is said to have felt that The Idol had an exaggerated “female perspective” and wanted the plot to give his character more prominence than Lily-Rose’s.
Sam stepped in as director and reshooted the show, which was reportedly heavily rewritten with so much raunchy material that one source kept thinking, “What is this?” What am I reading here? It was like sexual torture porn.”
However, other sources said the insiders quoted by Rolling Stone made their comments without seeing the final product.
The Weeknd publicly responded by denouncing the report as “ridiculous.” Vanity purse: “Programmes are rerecorded every day.”

She added, “Never have I felt more supported or respected in a creative space, more valued for my input and opinions.”
The showbiz legacy continued: ‘Working with Sam is a true collaboration in every way – the most important thing to him is not just what his actors think of the work, but how we feel performing it.’
At a Cannes press conference, Lily-Rose defended the extensive nudity in the show, arguing that “the character’s occasional nudity physically mirrors the nudity we get to see in her emotionally,” according to People.
