Bruce Willis’ Daughter Scout Pays Emotional Tribute to Dad Amid Dementia Diagnosis
Bruce Willis’ daughter Scout has posted an image of the actor stroking her hair as she lay on his bare chest amid his dementia fight.
The 32-year-old and her mom Demi Moore, 61, shared a mass of family snapshots from 2023 over the Christmas holidays including some appearing to be never-before-seen of Die Hard actor Bruce, 68, who was forced to retire from acting in 2022 after being diagnosed with aphasia.
In February 2023, his loved ones revealed his condition had worsened and that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
One of the most poignant photos shared of Bruce by Scout and Demi shows her resting on her dad’s chest, with his tattoos on display – which include the names of his daughters Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, 9, whom he shares with his 45-year-old wife Emma Heming Willis.
Other snapshots included Scout holding her father’s hand as they rest at a table.
Demi and Bruce are also parents of Rumer, 35, and Tallulah, 29.
It’s been reported Bruce’s family is all staying under one roof amid his health struggles.
A source recently told Us Weekly about his dementia diagnosis: “Bruce has good days and bad days, but in the last two months, there are many more bad days than good.
“This experience has brought the whole family even closer together. No one knows how much time Bruce has left, so they’re soaking up every moment they get with him.”
Another insider added: “Once Bruce was diagnosed, everyone came together to keep his memory of the family intact and to be there as a constant reminder [that they] love him. [Everything] revolves around him.
“Sadly, there’s this ticking clock connected to Bruce’s condition. Everyone has come together for Bruce. They’re thankful they have each other.”
Bruce’s frontotemporal dementia affects behavior, problem-solving, planning and emotions.
