She noted that the affection between her and Bruce extends to the entire family, stating, “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.”
Tallulah, 30, is the youngest daughter of Bruce and his ex-wife, Demi Moore, who is 61. The former couple also has two other daughters, Rumer, 36, and Scout, 33. Bruce has two additional daughters, Mabel, 12, and Evelyn, 10, with his current wife, Emma Heming Willis, 46.

“He is great. I love him so much. Thank you,” Rumer wrote alongside a photo of herself and her father holding hands.

In February 2023, Bruce’s family revealed that his condition had progressed to a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
FTD is an umbrella term for a group of brain diseases that primarily affect the frontal and temporal lobes, which are associated with personality, behavior, and language, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Since his diagnosis, Bruce’s family has rallied around the Die Hard star as his condition has evolved.
“Bruce has good days and bad days, but in the last two months, there have been many more bad days than good,” a source told Us Weekly in December 2023. “This experience has brought the whole family even closer together. No one knows how much time Bruce has left, so they’re cherishing every moment with him.”
The source added that Bruce receives around-the-clock care, with at least one family member always by his side. Another source noted that the entire blended family is essentially living together. “They’re all there all the time,” the source said. “Once Bruce was diagnosed, everyone came together to keep the family’s memory intact and to be a constant reminder of their love for him. Everything revolves around him.”
