Demi Moore and Bruce Willis's youngest daughter has left rehab.

Tallulah Willis, who checked into The Meadows facility in Arizona to allegedly seek help for alcohol and drug abuse in late July, was collected by her mother on Wednesday morning after receiving almost six weeks of treatment, People confirms.

The 20-year-old blogger quickly resumed activity on her Instagram account, sharing images from
her candid video interview on fashion website Stylelikeu.com last month, in which she revealed
she had struggled with an eating disorder and body dysmorphia when she was younger.

Getting back to health: Tallulah Willis left rehab on Wednesday morning after being picked up by mom Demi Moore following six weeks of treatment at The Meadows facility in Arizona, where she allegedly received treatment for alcohol and drug abuse

'Sometimes I feel like parents look at me and they're like, "Oh thank God that's not my kid,"' she says candidly in the video, in which she peels off her clothing as she delves deep into what makes her
who she is today.

'I struggled a lot when I was younger, I was diagnosed with body dysmorphia. I felt like I was ugly, always,' she continues. 'You could tell me a thousand times that it's not true, but it's true, and that's OK. So that made me start to dress really like showing off my boobs and my butt and showing off those things that I was getting attention for.

'It took me until like a year ago and I remember specifically one day putting on a button-up and buttoning it up all the way to my neck and having long pants on that weren't tight and just my arms showing, and feeling so beautiful. And that was a f***ing mindf*** for me! The fact that all the attention had to be on my face was so scary for me because I always wanted to distract people.

'By the time I realised that that wasn't who I was anymore, it was like I was trapped in this body and
I hated that I was sexy,' she admits. 'So that was the first time I started starving myself and losing
a bunch of weight and I got down to like 95lbs. I viewed super-skinny me as like smart, intelligent.'

While she revealed much more about herself than anyone would have imagined in the clip, she insists she has no regrets about being so open, captioning one behind-the-scenes shot on Instagram: 'Very grateful to have been apart of @Stylelikeu what's underneath project.'

Demi, 51, and Bruce, who also have daughters Rumer, 26, and Scout, 23, reportedly gave Tallulah an 'ultimatum' to undergo treatment in July.

A source previously said: 'Tallulah was pretty much given an ultimatum. Her parents were about to take away everything from her.'

Another friend claimed the celebrity offspring struggled when her mother checked into rehab for 'stress and exhaustion' in 2012 following her split from husband Ashton Kutcher.

The source said: 'When Demi was hospitalised, Tallulah didn't show up to school for days because she was too embarrassed.

'She was very open about Demi's issues and would sort of imply, "Of course I have issues too, look
at my mom."'

Demi and Bruce were married in 1987 and split in June 1998, before their divorce was finalised in October 2000.

The 59-year-old Die Hard actor also has daughters Mabel, two, and Evelyn, four months, with wife
of five years Emma Heming.
