Abstract: Rumer Willis shared a positive update on Bruce Willis's health as he turned 70, following his frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis.

Rumer Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis, shared an update on her father's health as the "Die Hard" star approached his milestone 70th birthday. In the lead-up to Bruce Willis's 70th birthday, Rumer Willis answered some fan questions on her Instagram Story, responding to a user's inquiry about her father's current condition.

"He is doing so good, thanks for asking," she wrote, encouraging her followers to "pls send my papa some love for his bday." Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a progressive brain disorder. In 2022, it was announced that Bruce Willis would be retiring from his decades-long Hollywood career due to cognitive issues, after previously being diagnosed with aphasia, a brain disorder that affects communication.

The following year, his family updated his diagnosis to frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a progressive brain disorder. Meanwhile, his wife and primary caregiver, Emma Heming, as well as his other two daughters, Tallulah and Scout Willis, also took to their respective Instagram pages to wish Bruce Willis a happy birthday.

Heming reposted a photo of her husband from "Die Hard" from Tallulah Willis's account. Tallulah wrote that it has been an honor over the years "to witness" all the roles Bruce Willis has played on screen. "I used to get embarrassed when people found out my 'full name,'" she wrote. "But I really love being a Tallulah Belle Bruce Willis."

Scout wished "the greatest guy I know" a happy birthday on her Instagram page, writing, "I am thanking god today that 50% of my DNA is his." She added, "The music I make, the magic I create, and the level of magnetic mischief I stir, that's my papa's legacy walking around in the world."
