Rumer Willis is sharing an update regarding the health of her father, Bruce Willis. She’s also shared why her family has made it a priority to share news of Willis to his fans, and how that process has helped them heal and come together.

Rumer made an appearance on Fox News, sharing that Bruce was doing “great.” She also shared how special it was for people to reach out to her and her family during this difficult time. “Through this experience, what’s been so incredible is my dad is so beloved, and that’s been so evident in the transparency with which we’ve been sharing,” she said. “And I think if there’s any way sharing our experience brings hope — whatever comes forward as a family — that can have an effect and bring any sort of hope, comfort to someone else experiencing that, then to me, that’s… everything.”

She just gave birth her first daughter, who’s called Louetta, and revealed that she’d already met Bruce. “I got to go over and see him today, which was so lovely and so nice to see him with my daughter and just go over and give love,” she said.
