Tallulah had previously characterized her father’s condition as “a truly aggressive cognitive disease, a very rare form of dementia,” in a 2023 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show.
“I’ve always recognized elements of his personality in myself, and I just know that we would be such good friends if only there had been more time,” she wrote for Vogue last year, expressing regret over missed opportunities to develop their relationship naturally over time. Her father’s illness has taught her to cherish every moment spent with him, as reported by today.com.
“I’ve really realized not to take for granted a single moment with him, and I truly believe we would be best friends. I think he’s really proud of me. You have to be present in the moment. You have to be there,” she emphasized on Today.

Tallulah also spoke about her struggle with autism, which was diagnosed at the age of 29.
“It was very emotional. To be honest, I really hated myself and thought I was broken. Learning that parts of me that I thought were a result of the illness, wrong, or just too much for this world, are actually okay, takes a bit more understanding and has allowed me to be kinder to myself,” she told the Today hosts.
Many praise the actress’s daughter for openly discussing her health struggles, as it helps those in similar situations.
To recap, Bruce Willis was first diagnosed with aphasia and later with frontotemporal dementia. He has strong support from his wife Emma Heming Willis and their daughters Mabel and Evelyn, as well as his ex-wife Demi Moore and their daughters Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah Willis.
