Rumer Willis, the eldest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, provided an update on her father's health as he continues his battle with dementia. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Rumer expressed her appreciation for the support the family has received during this difficult time.

"He's great. Yeah, yeah, doing OK. Thank you so much for asking," Rumer said at the premiere of her new film, "My Divorce Party," at the 24th Annual Beverly Hills Film Festival.

The actress emphasized the importance of sharing their experiences to bring hope and comfort to others facing similar challenges.

"I think, for me, 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. 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."

Rumer also reflected on the valuable lessons she has learned from her famous parents, both on and off the set.

"I feel like what I learned from them was just by watching. I feel like being on set, one of the biggest things I would say, just by proxy, you treat everyone with the same amount of respect, whether you're in front of the camera, behind the camera, from the littlest job. Like, it doesn't matter," she emphasized. 

In her new comedy, "My Divorce Party," Rumer stars as Ren, a member of a group of women who support a friend through a divorce by living it up on settlement money to prevent her ex-husband from seeing a dime.

"My character was written kind of as the straight man, and I was like, 'Man, all right, everyone else is so funny. How am I going to find a way to find my moments and find a way to really give this character some silliness?" Rumer explained.

She shared insights into her character's comedic development and the film's portrayal of female friendships.

"But it's really fun. There's a lot of depth. I think that there are so many female-driven comedies that are like, ‘OK, but we're still sexy, like we still have to be hot.' And women are not like that when we're together. We're f---ing disgusting," she added with a laugh. 

Rumer also gushed about her daughter Louetta Isley, whom she shares with her partner, Derek Richard. She described her daughter's development and milestones, including her teething, eating habits, and attempts at walking.

"Honestly, everything's rewarding. She's my best friend. I'm away from her for an hour, and I miss her," Rumer said. 

She acknowledged the challenges of motherhood and the insomnia she has experienced.

"I feel like, as soon as you get pregnant, maybe in the second or third month, you start getting a bit of insomnia, and it's your body preparing you to be more wakeful. And I don't think I've ever gotten back to the deep sleep zone," she said. "She'll be asleep through the whole night, and I'll be like, ‘What's happening? Is there danger?’”

Rumer also expressed her gratitude for her parents' role as grandparents to Louetta.

"[They’re] so sweet. They're the cutest. Everyone in my family is literally obsessed with her," she said.

Rumer shared some of the parenting advice she has received from her mother, Demi Moore.

"It's funny. My mom will be like, ‘You know you should do this with her.' And I'm like, ‘Actually, based on what I’ve been reading, you don’t do that anymore,’” Rumer explained. "But I think there’s just more information than there was."

She emphasized the importance of trusting oneself as a parent and respecting a child's individuality.

"Whether that ends up 10 years down the line causing whatever we inevitably do to screw up our children in different and opposite ways, right? I think, as parents, you want to give your kids whatever you didn’t have. I think the beauty in what I’m learning is she might not need what I didn’t get because she’s her own person."

Rumer concluded by praising her parents for encouraging self-expression in her and her sisters.

"They really allowed us the space to be expressive, whether it was through our clothing, through what we wanted to do, through making silly faces, or just, you know, expressing ourselves with a weird dance and silliness. And I think that’s so important because, a lot of the time, especially when you’re growing up as a ‘nepo baby’ or whatever, that you have to act a certain way or be a certain way. And I appreciate that we’re kind of left of center as a family."
