Bruce Willis' daughter Rumer Willis made a touching Instagram post after her father's dementia diagnosis.

The star was diagnosed with aphasia in Spring 2022 and in early 2023, his family shared that he was further diagnosed with dementia. In a statement, they wrote: "Bruce has always found joy in life - and has helped everyone he knows to do the same. It has meant the world to see that sense of care echoed back to him and to all of us."

He was specifically diagnosed with Frontotemporal dementia which can alter a person's behaviour and personality. His daughter wrote in a caption: "Really missing my papa today."

Rumer's post featured a sweet throwback picture of Bruce, shirtless, holding Rumer as a baby. She was dressed in a pretty white sundress with a matching headband in her hair. One person in the comments wrote: "I cannot even imagine. My heart & prayers go out to you. I’m also sending you a sincere tight hug. Blessings to you."

Bruce's other daughter, Tallulah, also made a similar gesture with her own post. She captioned hers: "Damn, these photos are hitting tonight. You're my whole damn heart and I'm so proud to be your Tallulah Belle Bruce Willis."

She shared an array of old photos including one where she sat on her dad's lap. In the photo, the pair were dressed casually as Bruce wore jean trousers and a black zip-up jumper. Tallulah was seen in jean overalls with a collared shirt. Another photo showed off her license to underscore her name that left a sweet nod to her father.

His wife Emma Willis has also been open about how this affected her. She wrote in Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper: "When I’m able to get out for a hike to clear my head, it’s not lost on me that not all care partners can do that. When what I share about our family’s journey gets press attention, I know that there are many thousands of untold, unheard stories, each of them deserving of compassion and concern."

Amid these emotional post, Bruce was recently seen out and about on a rare public sighting. In Los Angeles, he was seen keeping a low profile in a black hoodie, riding in a vehicle.
