Tallulah Willis has shared throwback photos of her father Bruce Willis as the actor continues to battle dementia.
The Die Hard star was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and aphasia in March 2022.
His family and friends have since kept his fans updated on Willis' condition, with daughter Tallulah sharing earlier this month that the 68-year-old was mainly 'the same'.

She said on the The Drew Barrymore Show: "He is the same, which I think in this regard I've learned is the best thing you can ask for."
The family have been trying to stay positive during this extremely difficult time, and Tallulah shared some throwback snaps with her dad to social media yesterday (November 15).
In one snap, the pair were sat on a chair holding hands as they smiled for a photograph, with a second showing her driving license proving that she has Bruce as part of her name.
Another snap was of a younger Willis on stage rocking a pair of sunglasses and fez, while the final photo showed Tallulah and Willis stood together in the sunshine.
"Damn, these photos are hitting tonight," she penned as part of the post. "You're my whole damn heart and Im so proud to be your Tallulah Belle Bruce Willis."
Tallulah also took to her Instagram Stories to repost photos she previously shared of her with her father when she was a child.
People replied to the 29-year-old's post to share their own moving words about Willis.
One person wrote: "Your Dad is the reason why I have my SAG card. I will be forever grateful to Bruce Willis."
A second said: "We are incredibly lucky for our fathers. You two and your whole family are beautiful.
"SV holds a special place in my heart because of the cherished moments it brings. Sending your whole family love. Especially BW+TW."
"Such great photos of you both! I didn’t realize one of your middle names was Bruce! How awesome," said another of Tallulah having her fathers moniker as part of her own name.
"Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful moments with us. With you in spirit. Beautiful man," wrote someone else.
Like Tallulah, Willis' wife Emma has also been vocal about her husband's dementia battle and recently admitted that she's feels guilty that their family have access to resources that others might not.
In an op-ed for Maria Shrivers' Sunday Paper, released on 12 November, Emma said she knows her family has 'resources that others don't' which help manage Willis' condition.
