Bruce Willis' daughter Tallulah posted a series of photos as a tribute to her father who was diagnosed with dementia.

In a loving message, she wrote: "Damn, these photos are hitting tonight. You're my whole damn heart and I'm so proud to be your Tallulah Belle Bruce Willis."

Bruce was diagnosed with aphasia in Spring 2022 and, earlier this year, his family revealed he was diagnosed with dementia. In the statement, they said: "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. We have been so moved by the love you have all shared for our dear husband, father, and friend during this difficult time."

In Tallulah's post, she included a photo where she sat on her father's lap on a large white chair. Bruce wore jean trousers with a gray t-shirt and a black zip-up jumper. Plus, he added a blue baseball cap. Tallulah wore jean overalls with a floral, colorful collared shirt. She added a pair of cute white socks with red hearts.

Another photo showed off her license, blocking out some sensitive information. It appeared to be in a playful effort to show off her full name, referenced in the caption. Tallulah added another picture of her with her father. She wore a pair of black leggings and a "Die Hard" gray jumper. She added on a fluffy pair of hot pink slippers. Bruce wore a pair of jean trousers and button-up top with another black baseball cap.

Tallulah recently issued an update on the situation. On The Drew Barrymore show she said: "He is the same, which I think in this regard I’ve learned is the best thing you can ask for. I see love when I’m with him, and it’s my dad and he loves me, which is really special."

Emma Heming Willis, Bruce's wife, spoke on the Today Show about Bruce's current situation. She said: “Dementia is hard. 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.”
