LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tallulah Willis shared a series of nostalgic photos with her father Bruce Willis as he continues to battle dementia. The youngest daughter of the 'Die Hard' star and Demi Moore uploaded the old photos of Bruce on late Tuesday, November 14, to take a walk down the memory lane at their lives before he was diagnosed with dementia.
Among the photos, two of them showed the 29-year-old holding hands with her father in different settings while another one shows Bruce performing with a band.
“Damn, these photos are hitting tonight,” she captioned the Instagram post, adding “Youre [sic] my whole damn heart and Im [sic] so proud to be your Tallulah Belle Bruce Willis.”
Several fans and supporters have shared encouraging words in the comments section in response to Tallulah’s post, including Kate Beckinsale who wrote “In it together, I will always be here for you.”
How is Bruce Willis now?
The 'Whole Nine Yards' star’s family shared in February this year that his initial diagnosis of aphasia had deteriorated to frontotemporal dementia, PageSix reports.
“We have been so moved by the love you have all shared for our dear husband, father, and friend during this difficult time,” his family said in a statement at the time.
“Your continued compassion, understanding, and respect will enable us to help Bruce live as full a life as possible," the statement added.
Bruce Willis is not 'totally verbal'
The creator of 'Moonlighting' revealed last month that the 68-year-old was “not totally verbal.” “My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am,” Glenn Gordon Caron told The New York Post of his visits with Bruce.
“He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he’s not reading now. All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he’s still Bruce,” Caron said.
Caron, 69, noted that visiting the 'Glass' star made him realize Bruce’s “joie de vivre is gone.”
What did Emma Heming say about Bruce Willis' health?
Bruce’s wife Emma Heming, who has continuously provided updates about her husband's health, shared in September that she wasn’t sure if he was aware of his condition.
“Dementia is hard,” Heming, 45, admitted to 'Today' co-anchor Hoda Kotb. “It’s hard on the person diagnosed, it’s also hard on the family, and that is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. When they say this is a family disease, it really is," she said.
