The Willis family first revealed in March 2022 that Bruce was battling aphasia, a language disorder that affects communication abilities.
Earlier this year, in February, they revealed that the “Die Hard” star’s case worsened because he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, an irreversible brain disorder that affects speech and motor skills with a life expectancy of six to eight years.
Since the diagnosis, the family has provided unwavering support for Bruce. A source close to the family disclosed to Us Weekly that “Bruce has good days and bad days, but in the last two months, there have been more bad days than good.”
