Hollywood star Bruce Willis' daughter Rumer Willis shared a touching Instagram post after her father's dementia diagnosis.
The star was diagnosed with aphasia in Spring 2022 and in early 2023, his family shared that he was further diagnosed with dementia, reports Mirror.co.uk.
In a statement, they wrote: "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."
The actor was specifically diagnosed with Frontotemporal dementia which can alter a person's behaviour and personality.
