Bruce Willis seen with his granddaughter for the first time amid dementia battle

Bruce Willis has been spending some quality time with his daughter Rumer Willis and newborn granddaughter Louetta amid his struggles with dementia.

The trio celebrated Father's Day together on Sunday, with 34-year-old Rumer now taking to Instagram to share the first pictures of Bruce with his eight-week-old granddaughter.

In one snap, the 68-year-old actor sweetly cradled Louetta as they spent time together by the pool.

Bruce, who has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, wore a casual outfit which was made up of a black, white and grey plaid shirt and a black baseball cap.

His granddaughter wore an adorable orange and blue floral print onesie.

In another photo, Rumer held onto Louetta as she posed next to her father. The mother-of-one rested her head on Bruce's shoulder while her baby gazed up at the Hollywood star.

Rumer smiled for the camera as she wore a pastel blue polka dot skirt which she paired with a light yellow cardigan and white T-shirt.

She also shared some pictures of her partner Derek Thomas. In the first snap, he was seen reading to his newborn daughter as they lay on a bed.

In the second picture, Derek wore a white face mask as he did a silly pose in the bathroom.

In the caption, Rumer paid tribute to both Derek and Bruce.

She said: "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."

Addressing Derek, Rumer wished him a happy first Father's Day and added: "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. We love you."
