Bruce Willis’s daughters Tallulah and Scout Willis shared a sweet family snap with their dad as they celebrated Thanksgiving.
Taking to social media, Tallulah, 30, and Scout, 33, shared a joint post via Instagram on Thursday, November 28 with two photos that featured the girls sharing a sweet moment with the Die Hard star, 69,
As Bruce sat on a couch, Tallulah posed nose-to-nose with her dad and placed her arm around him. Meanwhile, Scout, who was pictured sitting on the floor, looked up at her father, smiling.
In the photos, Bruce, who shares Tallulah and Scout with ex-wife Demi Moore, is seen holding a sign that reads “Best Dad Ever” — presumably a gift from his daughters. (Bruce also shares daughter Rumer, 36, with Moore and daughters Mabel, 12, and Evelyn, 10 with wife Emma Heming.)
Tallulah simply captioned the post, “Grateful”.
The post comes as Bruce continues his battle with frontotemporal dementia, a disease which affects the brain and is “associated with personality, behavior and language,” according to the Mayo Clinic. The family first publicly shared details of Bruce’s health issues in 2022.
Tallulah recently spoke about how special her visits with Bruce are to her amid his health condition and the importance of maintaining “connection”.
“Our visits have so much love and I feel that,” Tallulah told E! News in August. “And that overarches anything for me — being able to have that connection.”
She continued, “I know he knows how much I love him. I know how much he loves me. I know how much he loves all of us.”
That same month, Rumer shared an update on her father’s health in response to a fan question asked via Instagram.
“He is great. I love him so much. Thank you,” Rumer wrote as she shared a photo of herself and Bruce holding hands.
Heming also recently shared an update on Bruce’s health and revealed an insight into what it is like supporting her husband day to day.
“Today I’m much better than I was when we first received the FTD diagnosis,” Heming told Town & Country in October. “I’m not saying it’s any easier, but I’ve had to get used to what’s happening so that I can be grounded in what is, so that I can support our children. I’m trying to find that balance between the grief and the sadness that I feel, which can just crack open at any given moment, and finding joy.”
She also shared details of Bruce’s personal experience with frontotemporal dementia.
“For Bruce, it started in his temporal lobes and then has spread to the frontal part of his brain. It attacks and destroys a person’s ability to walk, think, make decisions,” she explained. “I say that FTD whispers, it doesn’t shout. It’s hard for me to say, ‘This is where Bruce ended, and this is where his disease started to take over.’ He was diagnosed two years ago, but a year prior, we had a loose diagnosis of aphasia, which is a symptom of a disease but is not the disease.”
