Tallulah Willis shares tribute to father Bruce Willis amid dementia battle

Tallulah Willis has shared a sentimental tribute to her father, actor Bruce Willis, on Instagram, posting a photograph from 2018 of the two embracing. In her caption, she expressed her enduring affection, stating, “2018 — love you everyday! Can still feel the sunshine through your hugs!”

Bruce Willis continues to live with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a diagnosis his family made public in February 2023 following an initial aphasia diagnosis in 2022. Tallulah, who works as a mental health advocate, previously discussed the complexities of his condition on the “Today” show, noting that while his condition is stable, the situation remains difficult. She remarked that the experience has taught her “not to take any moment for granted.”

His wife, Emma Heming, has also spoken about maintaining a connection with the actor, noting that he remains present and responsive to his family through physical affection and touch, even as his memory changes.
