Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah responds to backlash after sharing photo with dad

Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah has been forced to defend her decision to share photos with her dad on a ‘great day’ amid his health battle.

For those not in the loop, the Die Hard actor’s family announced back in February 2023 that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

Previously to this, his loved ones confirmed in March 2022 that he had a condition called aphasia, which impacts a person’s ability to communicate verbally and in writing.

Bruce’s current wife Emma, his ex-wife Demi Moore, and his three older children with the latter have continued to share updates on how the actor is doing.

And on Wednesday (23 June) 31-year-old Tallulah took to Instagram to share a gallery of family photos from the weekend at her grandma’s house.

Tallulah, who is Bruce and Demi's youngest, wrote in the caption: “Sunday funday at Grams! Grateful.”

One of the heartwarming photos shows Tallulah sitting on the floor and holding her dad’s hand as he sat in an armchair. A second was of the father and daughter hugging, and a third showed Bruce with Tallulah’s fiancé, musician Justin Acee.

Fans thanked Tallulah for the update and sharing love in the comments, writing: “Thanks for sharing Bruce with us. It’s good to see his smile and yours as well.”

Another quipped: “I love when you post photos making memories with your dad.”

With a third adding: “Thank you, beautiful girl. It's really generous to let us see these moments, because you know how much we love him, too.”

However, among the positive comments, there was some backlash from others on social media.

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

And now, according to Page Six, Tallulah has directly responded and explained her reasoning behind the decision.

She replied: “Hi. I hear that. As a family we use our discretion when posting. Today was a great day filled with smiles.

“I made the judgment call to show that to the world, because I know what he means to everyone.”

Others also rushed to defend her, with one Instagram user writing: “This is a loving picture. There should be no criticism of her posting this picture. Bruce and his daughter are raising awareness, so this can be cured someday.”

Another chimed in with: “This is a family of pure love! Unless anyone personally has taken care of a loved one in this kind of condition, you are in no way able to make judgement on someone else!”
