Bruce Willis has been surrounded by family during his battle with dementia.

The Die Hard actor's wife Emma Heming Willis, ex-wife Demi Moore, and his adult daughters have periodically given fans a glimpse into his current life.

On Sunday, June 22, Willis's daughter Tallulah posted a series of new photos to her Instagram account showing her with the actor.

One photo is a close-up of Tallulah with her dad, standing face-to-face. They shared a tender hug in another photo.

"Sunday funday! Grateful," she wrote in the caption of a photo that showed her holding hands with her father in a living room.

Another photo showed Tallulah's fiancé, Justin Acee, with the actor. Bruce Willis appeared in good spirits in the pictures. Acee responded in her comment thread with a series of heart emojis.

Tallulah also shared some of the same photos on her main Instagram page, revealing that they were taken at "Grams'" home.

Fans wrote in her comment thread that they enjoyed seeing the new photos of Willis.

"Love seeing your sweet daddy! Thanks for sharing! We wish him all the best!" wrote one person.

"Y’all are such a beautiful family!! Inside and out! I wish your dad all the best and lots of health," another person wrote.

"As a dad, I’m telling you that the hug you gave him was priceless,❤️" a fan commented.

The family released an update on Willis's condition in 2023.

"Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD)," it says in part.

"Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis."

"FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone. For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because getting the diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more prevalent than we know," the statement says.

"Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead. As Bruce’s condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research."
