Bruce Willis' daughter, 9, is helping him during his dementia battle in the sweetest way

Bruce Willis is being supported by his nine-year-old daughter Evelyn amid his struggles with dementia.

The actor's wife, Emma Heming Willis, has been keeping fans updated on Bruce's health and took to Instagram to reveal how her daughter has been doing her bit to help.

In a video shared with her 830,000 followers, Emma said: "So I have to tell you this story, and I'm going to try and do it without crying because when Evelyn told me this story, I was an absolute puddle."

Emma then explained how her daughter had searched for "fun facts about dementia" during her free time at school.

Evelyn learned how people suffering from the disease "can become severely dehydrated".

Emma said: "Now, that's not funny, but it is kinda funny. And she really is her father's child because these two love some random facts.

"So I said to her, 'Evelyn, we will always make sure daddy has a bottle of water in hand. Thank you for letting me know. But that is the most loving and compassionate thing that you can do is to be curious and educate yourself on your dad's disease."

In a second video, Emma continued: "It really is one of the most loving and compassionate things we can do as caregivers, as friends and family, is to educate ourselves about our loved ones diseases so we can best show up for them and support them in the best way possible."

One fan commented: "Truly is a FAMILY disease.. Bless you all!!"

Another said: "Bruce is so lucky to have you," while a third fan penned: "All caregivers are warriors."
