Tallulah Willis shares emotional photo with father Bruce while visiting grandmother

Tallulah Willis is "grateful" to spend time with her dad, Bruce Willis.

The actress, 31, took to social media to share sweet moments of her visit to her grandmother's house with her dad, 70, and fiancé Justin Acee:

“Sunday funday at Grams! Grateful 🕊️,” she captioned the post.

In the first photo, she could be seen sitting on the ground and clutching her father's hand, who was sitting on a chair, with both of them smiling at each other. In the second one, she is hugging him while other members of their family chatted away in the background.

For the unversed, Bruce Willis shares Tallulah Willis with Demi Moore. They also share Scout, 33, and Rumer, 36. Willis is a father to daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11, whom he shares with his current wife of 16 years, Emma Heming Willis.

Tallulah Willis opens up about her father's ailing health, says she once thought he wasn't interested in her

Tallulah Willis has long been vocal about her father's struggles with dementia. Just last October, she took to Instagram to share a string of photos, reflecting on how she had to accept his diagnosis:

“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 shared at the time. “From the forever archives,” she added.

The Die Hard actor took a step back from his decades-long stint in Hollywood after he was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, which later turned into dementia.

According to the Mayo Clinic, Frontotemporal dementia impacts speech, memory function, and behavior, though symptoms are consistent with those of Parkinson’s disease and ALS.

In May 2023, Tallulah Willis wrote an essay in Vogue Magazine, where she mentioned her father's ailing health:

"I’ve known that something was wrong for a long time," she said. "It started out with a kind of vague unresponsiveness, which the family chalked up to Hollywood hearing loss: “Speak up! Die Hard messed with Dad’s ears.” Later that unresponsiveness broadened, and I sometimes took it personally. He had had two babies with my stepmother, Emma Heming Willis, and I thought he’d lost interest in me."

However, she has since understood that this "couldn’t have been further from the truth":

"I admit that I have met Bruce’s decline in recent years with a share of avoidance and denial that I’m not proud of. The truth is that I was too sick myself to handle it," she conceded.
