Tallulah Willis is taking a moment to honor her father and the love that she has for him. In an Instagram post made on September 30, 2024, the 30-year-old actress made a tribute to Bruce Willis amid his current health battle with frontotemporal dementia, or FTD. The 69-year-old Glass actor was diagnosed with FTD in February 2023, which was an updated diagnosis from his initial one of aphasia, which he received in 2022.

She shared throwback photos.
“Hey I love this guy so much and feeling feelings is tough stuff, but I’m so grateful to let them flow through me now instead of disconnecting from it!” she wrote. “From the forever archives 🌞.”
The pictures included a photo of Bruce with his hands on Tallulah’s shoulders while kissing the back of her head. Another snap showed them smiling while enjoying a bowl of soup, and the last image showed Bruce smiling while she looked through a book of photographs of him.

Tallulah talked about her dad's current state on 'Today.'
During an appearance on the Today morning show, Tallulah said Bruce is “stable, which, in this situation, is good.” It still is a challenge for their family, though. “It’s hard. There’s painful days but there’s so much love. And it’s really shown me to not take any moment for granted and I really do think that we’d be best friends. I think he’s very proud of me.”
A source said the family was concerned about how much time he has left.
In an exclusive conversation with In Touch, an insider said Bruce’s “disease has progressed to the point where his family worries they may not have much more time with Bruce left.” The source also mentioned the family’s concerns of if he’ll even see another year. “They wonder whether he’ll even make it to his 70th birthday.”
Tallulah remains present for her father.
In an interview with People in August, the actress spoke about visiting her dad. “I’ll go visit my dad and spend some time with him,” she said, adding that it’s important to “go into it open to what the visit is, and knowing that before I go in, I’m solid. I’m okay.”
She continued, sharing, “I’ve done what I need to do to make sure that I can just be present.”
