The family of the 67-year-old “Die Hard” star, who retired from acting in March 2022 following his aphasia revelation, wrote in a lengthy statement that Willis’ disease has no treatment.
“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,” his family wrote on the“Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead. 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, which was signed by Willis’ ex-wife, Demi Moore, his current wife, Emma, and all of his kids, also said that if the “Whole Nine Yards” star “could respond” to his situation, he’d want to help spread awareness and bring “global attention and connectedness” with others who are also suffering form this “debilitating disease.”
“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 statement concluded. “We have been so moved by the love you have all shared for our dear husband, father, and friend during this difficult time. Your continued compassion, understanding, and respect will enable us to help Bruce live as full a life as possible.”
