    Linda Perry was named the “visionary” behind this year’s charity event, and “Heaven is Resonance” was the musical theme.

    The night’s honorees were Hayes MacArthur and Ali Larter.

    Depp and Heard, 27, hit it off when they both were filming “The Rum Diary” together two years ago. They’ve been spotted out around Los Angeles, but this was their first public event together.

    Depp was in a long-term relationship with French actress and model Vanessa Paradis and they had two children together. They separated shortly after Depp and Heard were linked.

    Depp, 50, steered clear of the red carpet, but the two stuck closely together and were photographed once they were seated inside.

    The organization, one of Hollywood’s gold-plated charities was launched in 1997. It encourages actors, artists and musicians to spend time with children who are battling serious medical problems.
