Bruce Willis' daughter gives glimpse into actor's birthday plans with ‘ironclad' family as he battles dementia
Bruce and Demi Moore's daughter, Scout, shared a glimpse of what their strong family unit has in store for the celebration, as he continues to battle dementia.
"You know, as we always celebrate," Scout, 33, told Fox News Digital at the Cure Addiction Now inaugural fundraising evening, hosted at The Beverly Hills Hotel, when asked about the family's plans for Bruce's birthday.
"We are a huge unit. We are very supportive of one another, and it's sort of like ironclad… we are so loving with one another. … I think that is the foundation of everything we do."

At the event, Cure Addiction Now raised $800,000.

Scout's comments came after her mother, Moore, swept through awards season with her latest project, "The Substance."
She continued to praise her mother for her work in the sci-fi horror movie.
"It means everything to me because my mom is one of my favorite people on earth, and I'm so deeply proud of her," Scout told Fox News Digital.
"I have watched the amount of work that she's put in, and I've watched different moments where I think she's not been recognized for these really pivotal, culturally shifting moments that she's been a part of," she explained.
Scout added, "To watch everyone come together and feel themselves in her story, and in her vulnerability, is really profound to me."
During her Hollywood comeback year, Moore was nominated for best actress by the Academy. She also took home her first Golden Globe at age 62.
"Being nominated for an Oscar is an incredible honor and these last few months have been beyond my wildest dreams," Moore said in a statement. "Truly, there are no words to fully express my joy and overwhelming gratitude for this recognition. Not only for me but for what this film represents. I am deeply humbled."
Moore and Bruce share three daughters: Rumer, Scout and Tallulah.
After their divorce, Bruce married model Emma Heming Willis in 2009 in Turks and Caicos. They married again six days later in Beverly Hills. The couple welcomed daughter Mabel in 2012 and daughter Evelyn in 2014.
In March 2022, it was announced that Willis would be "stepping away" from his acting career due to an aphasia diagnosis. It was later announced that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
Moore recently opened up about how she remains a constant presence in Bruce's life, even after their divorce.
"We will always be a family, just in a different form," Moore told Variety. "For me, there was never a question. I show up because that's what you do for the people you love."
Moore explained that she visits Willis weekly as he battles dementia and added that there's a healthy way to co-parent.
"I hope it's encouraging for others to see that there's a different way to do things. There is life after divorce. There is a way to co-parent with love."
Earlier this month, Moore and Bruce's eldest daughter, Rumer, gave an update on her father.
"He's doing great," the 36-year-old said on the British talk show, "Loose Woman."
"Because my family, we're all so close. I think what's so beautiful is the way that we rally around each other, [it's] so lovely, because we really are a unit."
Rumer also praised Willis and Moore for how they set a "beautiful" example as co-parents, as she raises her own daughter.

Childlike Habits Adults Refuse To Give Up
Since everyone's always talking about "healing their inner child," let's talk about the things we're doing to make that happen. I recently bought myself a Squishmallow and felt my soul light up again. If you need inspiration, you're in luck. In one Reddit thread (which you can see here), people shared the "little kid" things they still do in adulthood, and honestly, I need to start doing more of these. Here are 18 childlike things that people love doing as grown-ups: "I always use 'The Force' to open automatic doors." "Every single time I go to Target, I have to walk down the Lego aisle. I don't even buy them, I just like to look at the big, complicated sets and imagine building them." –BiscottiCute1 "I never miss an opportunity to test my balance. Curb raised higher than the sidewalk? I'm balancing and walking on it. As a kid, I walked miles balancing on railroad tracks. I'm almost 70 years old, and the same idea applies." "Watching cartoons. As an adult living in today's world, I just need a break from reality and want something funny and innocent." "Buying dino nuggets. I'm a legal adult who can cook actual food, but sometimes you just have a bad day and the only cure is dinosaur-shaped chicken." –joannamiller05 "I'm 36. I still sleep with quite a few stuffed animals in my bed and have a special blanket too. No fucks given, love my big ass stuffed animals and blanket very much. Indulge yourself, who cares? And if they do, they ain't a friend." "Rainbow sprinkles on my ice cream. They look so cheerful and I like the crunch. Chocolate sprinkles are not an acceptable substitue. I want every color of food dye or no deal." –baby_armadillo "Mimicking the Olympic event I just watched, especially if it's gymnastics or figure skating. Must say 'I can do that' with confidence and then immediately not do it in any remotely accurate or successful way. The only problem now is I break furniture AND body parts." "Going into pet stores just to look at all the fish, reptiles, and other animals there. Bonus points if there are cats, too." –NoSoup5774 "Looking for frogs and crayfish in creeks and ponds. I'll never be too old to get excited over catching a frog!" "Coming home with cool-looking rocks in my pockets." –MikrokosmicUnicorn "I love anything sparkly. I'll be the only one in the nursing home with a bedazzled walker." "Driving by farm animals and saying their names out loud. 'Hi, cows!' 'Horses!' 'Have a nice day, goatie goats!'" –I2AMDOOM "Putting crisps in sandwiches (that's chips to my American friends)." "Buying action figures and collectibles. I will never stop collecting, and they are for all ages." "I will never stop climbing trees. I've been scolded in parks by elderly people who seem to think that 35 is too old to be in a tree." –WillyBluntz89 "Running up the basement stairs on all fours like a cryptid because it's dark and spooky down there. I'm 19. I know there's no monster, but my lizard brain says 'go fast' and that's the fastest way." What are the "little kid" things you'll never stop doing? Let me know in the comments!
