Depp's lawyer, Camille Vasquez, helped man with a medical emergency mid-flight

Johnny Depp's lawyer, Camille Vasquez, is being called a "wonder woman" for helping a man when he experienced a medical emergency aboard a flight on which she was traveling.

Vasquez, fresh off her court victory in Depp's defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, was traveling from Los Angeles to New York City on an American Airlines flight this week when a passenger collapsed and hit his head, TMZ reported citing eyewitness accounts.

The unnamed traveler, who appeared to be in his 70s, fell as he passed beside Vasquez and her bodyguard, who were flying first class.

When a flight attendant called for help, the famous lawyer and her guard sprang into action.

Passengers said Vasquez called her brother-in-law, who is a physician, and asked him to guide her to verify whether the patient was having a heart attack or a brain hemorrhage, the media outlet reported.

Vasquez's bodyguard even took off his Apple Watch and put it on the ailing passenger to monitor his vital signs, TMZ said.

Vasquez was soon relieved of her EMT duties by a surgeon on board the flight who took over to try to save the man.

According to TMZ, one of the cabin crew told Vasquez that she was the "wonder woman" and presented her with a bottle of champagne and a bottle of Merlot.

The pilot turned the plane around and returned to LAX, where he was met by paramedics who escorted the patient off the flight. It is unclear what caused the man to collapse, and his condition is unknown at this time.
