In March 2022, the Willis family announced that Bruce was struggling with aphasia - a rare language disorder caused by damage in the part of the brain that controls speaking and comprehension. In February 2023, they further revealed that the 68 year-old had been officially diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

Emma's post comes as his ex-wife Demi Moore has recently opened up about the struggle the family are facing as Bruce's condition worsens. The actress encouraged relatives of those suffering from dementia to "let go of" the person their loved one used to be to ease the pain of their suffering.

Demi, 61, was left devastated when Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia last year having remained close to him and his current wife Emma. Demi previously opened up about life since Bruce's diagnosis while appearing on Andy Cohen's SiriusXM show Radio Andy.

The Ghost actress said she has learned to "take in the joy and the love" for Bruce as she knows him now rather than dwelling on who he was.

When asked "What message do you have for people out there who have family members who have dementia? Who are maybe caring for them or in their lives?" Demi gave a touching reply saying: "I think the most important thing I could share is just to meet them where they're at.

"When you let go of who they've been or who you think they [should be], or who even you would like them to be, you can then really stay in the present and take in the joy and the love that is present and there for all that they are, not all that they're not."

Meanwhile Bruce's friend and creator of Bruce's hit 1980s comedy series Moonlighting, Glen Gordon Caron, gave an insight into his visits to see the ailing actor. Talking to the New York Post he said: "My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am he's not totally verbal.

"He used to be a voracious reader - he didn't want anyone to know that - and he's not reading now, all those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he's still Bruce. When you're with him you know that he's Bruce and you're grateful that he's there, but the joie de vivre is gone."

Glen also it has been "mind-blowing" to see how much Bruce has changed adding that he "loved life and… just adored waking up every morning and trying to live life to its fullest."
