The source also noted that Willis seems far more "at ease" than he was when he was younger, "when he had a lot of energy and talked a ton."

Tallulah was quick to address these claims, calling out the unnamed source on her Instagram Story.
"I saw an article describing updates with my dad," she wrote. "It struck me because the people who love him throughout the world have expressed to me, when I've shared photos, that there should be real, discernible mindfulness on what is posted."
"So, the 'friend,' 'family member' or source who shared that he 'acts like a baby now?'" she continued. "How is that acceptable? Who are you?"
"Stay away from my family," Tallulah concluded.
