Bruce Willis' wife, Emma Hemming, admitted she had been 'crying' throughout the morning, just weeks after actor received a difficult dementia diagnosis.
"For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because getting the diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more prevalent than we know. Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead," the release said.
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore divorced more than 20 years ago, but have remained close. Rumer, Demi, Bruce, Scout, Emma and Tallulah attend Demi's 'Inside Out' Book Party in September 2019."Bruce always believed in using his voice in the world to help others, and to raise awareness about important issues both publicly and privately.
