JUST IN: Bruce Willis' ‘Condition Has Progressed' to Frontotemporal Dementia, His Family Says
In Thursday's statement, his family said communication challenges were just one symptom of frontotemporal dementia.
“Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead,” the statement read. “As Bruce’s condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research.” The statement was posted on the website for The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration and signed by Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis, his ex-wife Demi Moore, and his five children, Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel and Evelyn.
Over a four-decade career, Willis' movies had earned more than $5 billion at the worldwide box office. While beloved for hits like “Die Hard” and “The Sixth Sense,” the prolific actor had in recent years primarily featured in direct-to-video thrillers. Bruce Willis is getting in some quality time with his blended family! The "Die Hard" actor's ex-wife, Demi Moore, took to Instagram to share a rare family photo celebrating the holiday season. "We are FAMILY!! Getting into the holiday spirit," she wrote.
