The 29-year-old, who is the youngest daughter of Demi Moore, 60, and Bruce Willis, 69, has taken to Instagram to share a photo of her "healthy body" while gushing about self-love and recovery.

The mirror selfie saw Talluah pose in a pink jumper while donning some knickers as she showed off her tummy, while the screenshot saw her send a different photo to a group chat where she said: "Look at my healthy body".

Writing for Vogue back in May, Talluah got candid about her eating disorder struggles once again when she said: "For the last four years, I have suffered from anorexia nervosa, which I've been reluctant to talk about because, after getting sober at age 20, restricting food has felt like the last vice that I got to hold on to."

But earlier this year wasn't the first time Talluah opened up on her struggles, with her previously doing so to Teen Vogue back in 2015. In an interview with the magazine eight years ago, Talluah bravely spoke about her eating disorder and battle with substance abuse and depression which came after she left rehab the year prior.

In 2014 the star checked herself into a rehabilitation facility after struggling with drug addiction, following years of low self-esteem issues. Speaking to Teen Vogue following her rehab stay, Tallulah admitted she got to the point where she cried seeing photos of herself, and felt like "a really unattractive human being".

"I recall very specifically: I was in a New York hotel room when I was 13 (before social media was such a huge thing), looking at a photo of myself online. I broke down in tears as I started to read the comments. I thought, I am a hideous, disgusting-looking person. I might be nice and I might be kind, but I'm a really unattractive human being," she revealed.
