Bruce Willis is defying his family’s fears as he celebrates a milestone birthday — turning 70. On March 19, the “Die Hard” actor was showered with loving messages from his and his ex-wife, Demi Moore‘s daughters, Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout Willis. On Instagram, Rumer wrote, “To the K ing…I love you Daddio Happy 70th Birthday papa,” as she shared a video of Bruce and Moore in a playful moment singing and dancing. Talluah chose a photo of their dad wearing a tank top and smiling as he held a fake machine gun on the set of a film from years past. She added in her caption, “You are a light that can never be dimmed!”  Bruce Willis’ family is concerned as his battle with frontotemporal dementia diagnosis worsens.

She also shared a video of them sharing a precious father-daughter bonding moment amidst his battle with dementia. “Every day I thank the Gods that 50% of my DNA is from him. The music I make, the magic I create, and the magnetic mischief I incite, that’s my father’s legacy alive in the world,” Scout captioned the carousel of memories.

Die Hard is such an iconic movie to me. Sending love and best wishes to you and your family,” wrote one fan. Another said, “Dad. Grandpa. Husband. Friend. Actor. Beloved ICON. Appreciated by tens of millions of people around the world. Damn good work.” A few gushed over the photos Scout particularly posted writing, “These are the sweetest images. Love you! Happy Birthday papa Willis!” “Scout, in the 6th image, it looks as if there may be a tear in his eye. You can feel the love that you all share. Your love is powerful. Thank you for sharing these pics of your wonderful father. Bruce Willis retired from his decades-long career in 2022 after he was diagnosed with aphasia, a disorder that impacts how individuals understand language and communicate. In 2023, his wife, Emma Hemming Willis, revealed that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a progressively degenerative neurocognitive disorder that can affect personality, behavior, speech, and movement. RadarOnline reported in September 2024 that Willis’ decline had “progressed to the point where his family worries they may not have much more time with Bruce left.” Those doubts allegedly included concern on whether or not he would make it to his 70th birthday.

They are parents to daughters Mabel and Evelyn. The “G.I. Jane” actress and “The Last Boy Scout” were married for 13 years when they divorced in 1987. She has remained an integral part of his life throughout the years and his battle with dementia. ‘A Tear in His Eye’: Bruce Willis’ Daughters Share Emotional Throwbacks as the Icon Defies the Odds on His 70th Birthday ...read more read less
