Bruce Willis’ daughter has announced the birth of her first child.

Rumer Willis shared the news online, saying that her newborn daughter – who she shares with partner Derek Richard Thomas – was “pure magic”.

In post on Instagram, she introduced Louetta Isley Thomas Willis, who was born at home on April 18.

“Louetta Isley Thomas Willis. You are pure magic. Born at home on Tuesday April 18th. You are more than we ever dreamed of,” she captioned the photo.

The US actress is the daughter of Hollywood star Willis and Demi Moore.
