Emma Heming Willis shares family photos as daughter Mabel turns 11 | CNN

Emma Heming Willis takes her 11-year-old daughter Mabel on a trip down memory lane as she celebrates her birthday. The actress posted a heartfelt montage of family photos and videos taken over the years to the iconic song "Pictures Of You" by The Cure, accompanied by a caption expressing her pride and adoration for her eldest child.

In the touching tribute, Heming Willis praises Mabel for spreading joy wherever she goes, crediting her with the ability to light up a room with her infectious energy. She also highlights how her daughter's unwavering love and care for those around her is truly inspiring. With the hashtag #liveitup, Heming Willis encourages Mabel to keep shining bright.

As Mabel celebrates another year of life, her family remains close-knit despite Bruce Willis' ongoing health struggles with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The actress has been vocal about raising awareness for the disease and seeking more research. In a statement earlier this month, the couple expressed their hope that increased media attention can shed light on FTD, a condition currently without treatments.

The couple shares two daughters together, Mabel and 8-year-old Evelyn. Emma Heming Willis also has three other children from her previous marriage to Demi Moore: Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah. Recently released photos show Bruce Willis in his more recent roles as a doting dad, showcasing the special bond between him and his preteen daughter Mabel.

Mabel's birthday post comes just months after Heming Willis marked her husband's 68th birthday with an equally emotional tribute on Instagram. In it, she affectionately referred to him as "pure love."
