Demi Moore and Bruce Willis' youngest daughter, Tallulah Willis, is stepping into her own space as an entrepreneur and also an advocate.
The 30-year-old is the youngest of three sisters, her older sisters being Rumer and Scout Willis, and they share an extremely close bond with each other and their other family members.
Tallulah made her first solo live TV appearance on Wednesday, September 18, to sit down with Today Show anchors Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie to discuss her journey with autism and her father's health.
Support for the Willis family has been overwhelming ever since they announced that patriarch Bruce, 69, was stepping away from the screen after being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
Tallulah was asked how her dad was doing, and she responded: "He's doing stable, which in this situation is good," before getting a little choked up while thinking about her loving father.
"It's hard," she added. "There's painful days. But there's so much love! And it's really shown me to not take any moment for granted. And I really do think that we would be best friends. I think he's very proud of me." She also recalled some of the advice she'd received from mom Demi about being "present" when around him instead of thinking about the negative.

"I didn't know it would have this scale that it did," Tallulah added, then delving into her personal journey and explaining that she was "misdiagnosed for many years" before finally receiving the correct diagnosis.
"It's very common, specifically for adult women. It's all very new for me, and it's only been in the last year that I'm learning what the terms are and regulating. Because I'm very high functioning autistic, and my struggles are more in sensory. So being very sensitive to the world. Rather than, more commonly, people assume that it's communication."

Her reaction to finally being given the correct diagnosis last year was one she called "very emotional" but also full of "relief."

"And it gave me more grace for myself as well as my family, and other people hopefully who learn about this. Just to be a little more gentle and compassionate with themselves."

Chair of the Gala Georgianna Junco-Kelman shared in an official statement: "It is a privilege to have the support of advocates like Tallulah in calling awareness to the most pressing issues for the autistic community."
