During a recent update, the family of actor Bruce Willis shared that despite the Die Hard star’s brave battle with dementia, sadly, the actor’s health has begun to decline rapidly. The heartbreaking details emerge just days after Bruce was spotted enjoying a leisurely car ride during a rare outing.
The actor doesn’t get out much these days, and when he does, he requires a team of caregivers to ensure his safety. Nearly two years ago, Bruce Willis and his family’s lives drastically changed after he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. Most days are challenging for the struggling actor. However, Bruce Willis and his family have shown remarkable resilience, banding together to make the best of a heartbreaking situation.
Sadly, things have begun to take a turn for the worse, and the family has already started preparing themselves for the inevitable. Bruce’s condition now requires 24/7 home care. The team is available around the clock to help supervise him and ensure he’s OK and doesn’t get confused and frightened.
Despite being forced to face the heartbreaking reality of the cruel disease, the Willis family has vowed to stick together and make Bruce’s final days as comfortable as possible.
Willis’ current wife, Emma, and former wife, actress Demi Moore, along with Bruce’s five daughters, Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel, and Evelyn, work together to create a loving, stable, and safe home for Bruce to spend his days in. Unfortunately, the family has to accept that Bruce’s days may soon be coming to an end.
According to Radar Online sources state, “The disease has progressed to the point where his family worries they may not have much more time with Bruce left.” They fear the actor may not even make it to his upcoming 70th birthday in March.
