Bruce Willis’ family share heartfelt memories amid his brave battle with dementia

The Hollywood star was diagnosed with aphasia back in 2022, which is a language disorder caused by damage to a specific area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension.

Then earlier this year, his family revealed the sad news that he had been further diagnosed with dementia. 

In a statement, they told the world: "Bruce has always found joy in life - and has helped everyone he knows to do the same. It has meant the world to see that sense of care echoed back to him and to all of us."

He was specifically diagnosed with Frontotemporal dementia which can alter a person's behaviour and personality. 

In a post this week, his daughter Rumer shares a sweet picture with her dad and wrote: "Really missing my papa today."

The post featured a throwback image of Bruce holding Rumer as a baby. She was dressed in an adorable sundress with a matching white headband.

Bruce's daughter, Tallulah, also took to Instagram to share her own post about her dad. 

She shared several pictures and wrote: "Damn, these photos are hitting tonight. You're my whole damn heart and I'm so proud to be your Tallulah Belle Bruce Willis."

Among the old photos she postes was one where she is sitting on her dad's lap, while another photo featured her showing off her license with a sweet nod to her father.
