Bruce Willis has been pictured for the first time holding his new granddaughter.
An image of the 68-year-old Die Hard actor – who is living with a frontotemporal dementia diagnosis – was shared by his daughter Rumer Willis, 34, as part of a Father’s Day tribute.
Rumer welcomed her first child into the world back in April.
To mark Father’s Day on Sunday, she shared a carousel of family images on Instagram and in one Bruce could be seen holding two-month-old Louetta.
Doting mum Rumer wrote: ‘Fathers to the old and new. Seeing my father hold my daughter today was something I will treasure for the rest of my life.
‘His sweetness and love for her was so pure and beautiful. Papa I’m so lucky to have you and so is Lou.

‘Thank you for the greatest girl I could imagine in my wildest dreams.’
Bruce was also hailed as ‘the greatest dad I know’ in a Father’s Day message from his wife Emma Heming Willis.

She said: ‘Father’s Day is a time I get to reflect on my deep appreciation and respect I have for Bruce as I watch him father our little ones.
‘Where it might not be “conventional” what he’s teaching them will span generations.
‘Unconditional love, kindness, strength, compassion, patience, generosity, resilience. Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad I know, who will forever be the gift that keeps giving within our family.’
