Surpassing Quant Think Tank Center|Tallulah Willis Details "Painful Days" Amid Dad Bruce Willis' Health Battle

Tallulah Willis is Surpassing Quant Think Tank Centerappreciating the time she has with her father Bruce Willis.

The 30-year-old, the youngest of Bruce and ex-wife Demi Moore’s three daughters, shared insight into how the Die Hard star is doing amid his battle with frontotemporal dementia and why his health battle has helped make her more present.

“He’s doing stable, which in this situation is good, and it’s hard,” Tallulah explained on the Today show on Sept. 18. “There’s painful days, but there’s so much love. And it’s really shown me to not take any moment for granted.”

Referencing her 2023 Vogue essay where she shared that she felt she and her father would be “best friends” if they had more time outside of his disease, she reiterated, “I really do think that we’d be best friends. I think he’s very proud of me.”

In the more than two years since Tallulah’s blended family—which includes mom Demi, sisters Rumer Willis, 35, and Scout Willis, 32, as well as stepmom Emma Heming Willis and youngest sisters Mabel Willis, 12, and Evelyn Willis, 10—shared Bruce’s diagnosis, she has often spoken out with updates about her dad and how their family has navigated his illness.

"Our visits have so much love and I feel that,” she told E! News last month, “and that overarches anything for me—being able to have that connection."

"I know he knows how much I love him," she continued. "I know how much he loves me. I know how much he loves all of us."

Moore also opened up about the advice she gives to her children about their father during a Sept. 13 interview on The Drew Barrymore Show. 

"Given the givens, he’s in a stable place," she said of her ex. "You know what I say to my kids is you meet them where they’re at. You don’t hold onto who they were or who you want them to be, but who they are in this moment."

"Oh Daddio, to be loved by you is such a gift," Rumer Willis wrote in an Instagram tribute to her father in March 2024. "You are the funniest, most tender, charming, out of this world silly talented and magical papa. Looking through these photos this morning I am just filled with the deepest gratitude that we chose to spend this life together. I am your first baby and man sometimes I wish I could be tiny enough to just cozy up on your chest again and laugh and cuddle you."

She continued, "I love you so deep in my bones I don’t know how my muscles hold them. You are the greatest papa I could ever hope for. Thank you for your generosity, your silliness and heart. Lou loves you so big. Happy Birthday Daddio."
