The 53-year-old actor expressed his gratitude while accepting the People's Choice Award for favorite movie icon, reported People magazine.
"I came here for one reason tonight and one reason only. I came here for you, the people, who through whatever good times or bad, you know, have stood by me, trusted me. Thank you," said Depp.
The "Lone Ranger" actor added, "You've very, very graciously invited me here tonight. I appreciate that very much - you have no idea how much I appreciate it."
Depp's divorce with Heard was finalised on January 13.
