Household name Demi Moore is making news today and not because of the famous actress that she is - but for her love to her daughter Rumer Willis.

Willis, who is competing in ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," was surprised by her mom and her other sisters in a quick interview, before she took the dance floor with partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy.

In the video, The Huffington Post reported, Moore talked about how her divorce with Hollywood actor Bruce Willis in 1998 affected the now-26-year-old Willis, who was still a kid then. The "Indecent Proposal" actress added that Willis had the most difficulty with the divorce. 

Moore went on to recall when Willis was younger and was being bullied over her looks. Because she could not stop the bullying, she resorted to another technique that many mothers know well. 

"I could only just keep loving her and loving her until she could love herself," Moore said in the video clip. 

On a lighter note, People reported that Moore thought that Willis' stint at the hit dance show has helped her daughter's passion to "become greater than her fear."

Moore also shared that she was not exactly on board with the idea of her daughter joining "Dancing With the Stars" initially. 

Also in attendance during Willis' performance that night are her sisters Scout and Tallulah, as well as her dad, Bruce. 

Talking about their sister, Talullah said that Rumer has always been able to excel in anything she tries and Scout chimed in, saying that it is "really, really special that the world is falling in love with her." 

Willis, who survived that night's elimination, at the end of the show said that she appreciated her family's tribute to her. "It's a funny thing, you can have your parents tell you those things your whole life, but if you have them say it, and they're not necessarily saying it to you, I feel like in a weird way you sometimes listen more," she added.
