The daughter of "Die Hard" fame and Demi Moore (61) shares that her father's condition remains the same, which, in their situation, is a good sign. Sharing her feelings, Tallulah states, "Our meetings are filled with so much love, and that's what matters to me."
She shares a strong bond with her father. "I can see he understand my love for him. I know he loves me deeply - I know he loves all of us," she expresses fondly. Despite the difficulty this journey has brought to her family, she highlights that Bruce's health struggle has provided an "opportunity for more love among my family."

Bruce Willis announced his retirement from his long-spanning acting career and public life in March 2022, following a diagnosis of aphasia, a disorder caused by brain damage. In February 2023, his family disclosed that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
"A more advanced level of interaction"
According to Tallulah Willis, her journey with her ailing father has not only brought more love into her family, but also "a more advanced level of interaction."

Just recently, her sister Rumer (36) also spoke about Bruce's health. In an Instagram Q&A session, she shared her optimism, saying, "He's doing well. I love him so much."
