Bruce Willis continues to be surrounded by love and support from his family as he navigates his battle with dementia.
The Die Hard star’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, ex-wife Demi Moore, and their daughters have occasionally offered fans heartfelt glimpses into his life behind the scenes.
On Sunday, June 22, his daughter Tallulah Willis shared a touching series of photos on Instagram. One showed a close-up moment of the two standing face-to-face, while another captured a warm hug between father and daughter.
“Sunday funday! Grateful,” Tallulah wrote in the caption of a sweet photo showing her holding hands with Bruce in what looked like a cozy living room moment.
Another touching moment in Tallulah Willis’s photo series included her fiancé, Justin Acee, sharing a sweet moment with Bruce Willis. The legendary actor appeared in good spirits throughout the pictures, and Acee responded in the comments with a string of heart emojis.
Tallulah also posted some of the same images to her main Instagram feed, noting they were taken at “Grams’” home. Fans quickly flooded the comment section with love and encouragement.
“Love seeing your sweet daddy! Thanks for sharing! We wish him all the best!” one person wrote.
“Y’all are such a beautiful family!! Inside and out! I wish your dad all the best and lots of health,” added another.
One fan, clearly moved, shared: “As a dad, I’m telling you that the hug you gave him was priceless.”
The family first opened up about Bruce Willis’s health struggles in 2022, revealing he had been diagnosed with aphasia. By 2023, they shared that his condition had progressed and that he now had a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
“Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis,” the statement read.
The family explained that FTD is a harsh and lesser-known form of dementia, most common in people under 60. Because diagnosis can take years, it’s likely far more prevalent than people realize.
“Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead,” the family said. “As Bruce’s condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research.”
