Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah defends sharing ‘vulnerable’ dad on Instagram

Bruce Willis’ daughter won’t be shamed.

Tallulah Willis graciously responded to a follower who took issue with the 31-year-old sharing photos of her famous father on social media as he battles frontotemporal dementia.

Over the weekend, Tallulah — who is the youngest of three daughters the “Die Hard” actor shares with ex-wife Demi Moore — gave fans a look into life at home with her dad.

In one picture, the retired action star, 70, could be seen smiling in a chair while holding Tallulah’s hand as she sat with her legs crossed on the floor. In another photo, she was seen giving Bruce a huge hug.

“Sunday funday at Grams ! Grateful 🕊️,” she wrote of their tender father-daughter moment.

While her post gathered over 15K likes, one of her followers took issue with the photo.

“I don’t think you should expose your dad to the public!” the Instagram user commented. “He is vulnerable! And some things should be kept private! You don’t have his permission to post it!”

The reaction didn’t sit right with Tallulah, who took to her comment section to address the follower’s concern.

“Hi. I hear that. As a family we use our discretion when posting,” she informed the commenter.

“Today was a great day filled with smiles,” Tallulah continued. “I made the judgment call to show that to the world, because I know what he means to everyone.”

However, the picture of Bruce with Tallulah got more praise than backlash, with several followers thanking her for giving them a glimpse of the beloved Emmy winner.

“Thanks for sharing Bruce with us. It’s good to see his smile and yours as well,” one supporter wrote. “Thank you, beautiful girl. It’s really generous to let us see these moments, because you know how much we love him, too. ❤️,” shared a second.

“Love seeing your sweet daddy! Thanks for sharing! We wish him all the best!” added someone else.

Tallulah’s post and comment come days after Bruce’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, shared a heartbreaking confession on social media in honor of the actor for Father’s Day.

Emma — who shares two young daughters with Bruce: Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11 — has been his caregiver ever since the family announced his dementia diagnosis in 2023.

“I’m profoundly sad today,” his wife of 16 years wrote. “I wish, with every cell in my body, that things could be different for him and lighter for our family.”

Emma continued, “And while that might sound dismissive, to me, it’s not. It grounds me. It helps me return to the acceptance of what is and not fight this every step of the way like I used to.”

In March, the couple celebrated their sixteenth wedding anniversary.

Bruce was originally diagnosed with aphasia, which impairs a person’s ability to communicate, in 2022. However, one year later, his loved ones announced his diagnosis had progressed to frontotemporal dementia.

His heath battle forced Bruce to retire from acting after almost 40 years.
