Bruce Willis has been photographed holding his infant grandchild for the first time.
Rumer Willis, 34, uploaded a photo of the 68-year-old Die Hard star, who is suffering from frontotemporal dementia, as part of a Father’s Day tribute.
Rumer gave birth to her first kid in April of this year.
On Father’s Day, she published a carousel of family photos on Instagram, one of which showed Bruce cradling 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 being the silliest, most loving, coolest Daddio a girl could ask for. Best Girl Dad in the game….’
Rumer is Bruce’s eldest daughter from his first marriage, which ended in 2000 with Demi Moore, 60.
Demi and Bruce have two kids, Scout, 31, and Tallulah, 29.
Rumer also paid tribute to her husband Derek Richard Thomas in the same tweet, writing, ‘Happy 1st Father’s Day. Thank you for creating such a lovely garden for Lou to play in and eat from.
‘Thank you for filling the house with music for her to hear Thank you for all the late-night diaper changes and silly faces.’
Rumer continued: ‘I’m so grateful our girl has a papa that loves her so much and someone so goofy and weird so she knows that’s ok for her to be too.
‘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.

‘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.’
