Rumer Willis is sharing a candid take on her father Bruce Willis' battle with dementia.

Rumer recently took to her Instagram Stories for a Q&A with followers and was asked how her dad is doing amid his health struggles, per E! News. The Die Hard actor, 70, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2022.

"People always ask me this question and I think it's kind of a hard one to answer, because the truth is that anybody with FTD is not doing great, but he's doing OK in terms of somebody who is dealing with frontotemporal dementia," she said.

The Sorority Row actress, 37, explained that the "parameters" of judging whether her father is "doing great" have changed, making it difficult to answer the "interesting question" in a way others might understand. Ultimately, she is thankful that she can still visit with her dad and make sure he feels the love she has for him.

"The answer that I would give is that I'm so happy and grateful that I still get to go and hug him," she said. "I'm so grateful that when I go over there and give him a hug whether he recognizes me or not that he can feel the love I've given him, and I can feel it back from him. That I still see a spark of him and he can feel the love that I'm giving and so that feels really nice."

In addition to Rumer, Willis shares daughters Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 31, with ex-wife Demi Moore and Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11, with wife Emma Heming Willis.
