Rumor Willis posted a very emotional photo of herself and her father, Bruce Willis, as he battles frontotemporal dementia.

On her Instagram, Rumer wrote, “Really missing my papa today,” complete with a crying emoji. The caption was added to an image of Bruce holding her when she was a toddler.

Tallulah, Rumer’s sister, wrote, “Love you sister,” in a comforting message.

Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, known as FTD, in February 2023. In 2022, he announced he would not be acting as much as he had been diagnosed with aphasia.

In November of 2023, Glenn Gordon Caron, his former director on TV hit “Moonlighting,” revealed Bruce was “not totally verbal.”
