Johnny Depp has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Amber Heard after allegedly hurling a phone in her face.

A judge issued the order after the actress said in a statement that her estranged husband threw her mobile phone at her during a fight on Saturday, striking her cheek and eye.

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

Heard said in her declaration to Los Angeles Superior Court that the actor was high and drunk when the incident happened.

She added: "I live in fear that Johnny will return to (our house) unannounced to terrorise me, physically and emotionally."

Judge Carl H. Moor also ruled that Depp shouldn't try to contact Heard.

However, he rejected Heard's request that Depp attend a year's worth of anger management classes.

Heard's filing states the May fight was preceded by an incident in April in which the actor skipped her birthday party and showed up later high and drunk and pushed her to the floor.

After that incident, Heard wrote she did not see the actor for another month.

The filing came five days after Heard filed for divorce.

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