Bruce Willis continues to struggle with one of the most devastating battles of his life. While his life is no longer what it once was before his tragic downfall, he made sure to take care of some important details regarding his $250M estate.
The beloved “Sixth Sense” star was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023 following an earlier diagnosis of aphasia. Bruce Willis is now mostly nonverbal and under the constant care of an in-home care team and his family. However, after his diagnosis and understanding the grim prognosis that lay ahead of him, Bruce made sure to take care of business.
Willis quietly put together a $250 million legacy to ensure his blended family will never have to worry. He also wanted to take the pressure off his family members and ensure there were no questions or disagreements following his demise.
Sources close to Bruce Willis and his blended family tell Radar Online, “Bruce has always taken pride in making sure his family was looked after. No one close to him has ever gone without.“
FTD has not been kind to the beloved Bruce Willis. Sadly, his health decline has been rapid and cruel, not only for Bruce but for his family. Bruce’s wife Emma Heming and daughters, Mabel, Evelyn, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah. Even ex-wife Demi Moore has dedicated their days and nights to staying by Bruce’s side.
Bruce Willis To Leave Behind Legacy of Love, Strength, and Preparedness
The actor’s family is rallying around him with unwavering support. According to his family, Bruce often no longer speaks, or at times even recognizes his family. They reveal he has more bad days than good. However, the good are becoming few and far between.
On a good day, Bruce Willis is said to question his family about his final arrangements and the estate plans he has made. However, he is mostly unable to recall the details. Sadly, the cruel nature of FTD means he often forgets he has already handled everything. Doing so causes him to become anxious about whether his family will be okay without him.
The once-energetic star now finds joy in only the smallest things, like a car ride or a visit from family. His life, once filled with red carpets and film sets, is now centered around medical care and moments of quiet connection. Despite the heartache and painful reality, insiders state, “They’re grateful he’s still with them, but they’re also realistic about what the future holds. Every second counts.”
Emma has opened up about the heartbreak of watching her husband fade away. She admits nothing could have prepared her for this journey. Still, she remains strong, not just for Bruce but for the millions of other families navigating dementia.
Bruce Willis may be fading from the public eye, but his legacy remains stronger than ever. His journey is undeniably heartbreaking. But it’s also a powerful reminder that love and loyalty can shine through even the darkest days. As Bruce continues his battle with dementia, his family’s unwavering commitment stands as a lasting tribute to him and the life he built with them.
