The actor celebrated his 68th birthday on Sunday which saw his wife Emma Heming Willis look for “silver linings” as he battles an aggressive form of dementia.
The new photographs of Willis delighted fans who have not seen the star since he and his family decided to keep a low profile following his diagnosis of aphasia.
Last month, the daughter of Willis and Moore, Tallulah Willis, posted a photograph of her father on the beach and explained more about his health.
She wrote on Instagram: “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).
“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.”
Tallulah was pictured in the photos shared by her mother with the caption: “More from Bruce’s birthday yesterday.”
Demi shared nine photographs of Willis surrounded by his children, their partners, his ex-wife, Emma, and some pet dogs.
One fan wrote: “All the kids visibly soaking in the moments with their Dad.”
Another added: “My thoughts and prayers are with you all. How beautiful it is to see.”
One of Demi’s heart-warming pictures shows Emma kissing her husband’s cheek as he looks away from the camera.
Emma shared on her Instagram stories how challenging Bruce’s birthday was and how it was not the end of her bitter-sweet feelings.
She explained: “We had such a great time celebrating my husband yesterday.
“He had the best time. He loved his apple pie. Thank you for all the birthday wishes.

Aphasia is a medical condition that causes patients to struggle to understand language and communicate effectively.
It typically comes on after a stroke or head injury but can also be related to disease or a brain tumor causing degenerative damage.
Those battling aphasia typically have an “expressive” or “receptive” form of the disease; “Expressive” aphasia is when people find it very difficult to find and say the right words, although they probably know exactly what they want to say.
“Receptive” aphasia, meanwhile, is when someone is able to speak well and use long sentences, but what they say may not make sense.
“So, we got through that, I pulled myself together but guess what’s tomorrow?
“It’s our wedding anniversary. So I’m sure I’ll be feeling all the feels.”
The pair got married in Turks and Caicos on March 21, 2009 and the wedding was attended by Bruce’s daughters and ex-wife.
The model and her husband then had a civil ceremony in Beverly Hills six days later.
In her story, Emma noted that the family have a number of “beautiful things to look forward to.”
Their daughter Mabel will be celebrating her 11th birthday soon, Evelyn will be turning nine and they are eagerly awaiting the birth of Demi and Bruce’s first grandchild.
Emma ended by saying that they have “so many things to be grateful for.”
She explained on Sunday that “today is one of those days of feeling the grief and sadness but the silver lining is that I’m so lucky to feel your warmth and love that is directed to my husband and our family.”
The model shared a compilation video on her social media page of clips of her husband in honor of his birthday.
Other photographs from the actor’s birthday concerned fans who noticed he was missing a tooth.
Despite this, Demi posted a video of the family, and Bruce, singing Happy Birthday before he blew out the candles on his apple pie.
He appeared to be in good spirits, singing at least a few words to the song, chatting with other revelers.
The entire family had a little chuckle during the touching moment – Bruce included.
