Bruce Willis Daughter Shares Update on Dad's Fight Vs. 'Really Aggressive' Dementia

Tallulah Willis, daughter of "Die Hard" actor Bruce Willis, shared an update on her father's battle against a "really aggressive" form of dementia after reports stated he is already "non-verbal."

"He is the same, which I think in this regard I've learned is the best thing you can ask for," Tallulah told Drew Barrymore on her show, "The Drew Barrymore Show."

"I see love when I'm with him, and it's my dad and he loves me, which is really special," she added.

Bruce Willis was regarded as one of the biggest action stars of the 80s and early 90s, starring in the "Die Hard" film franchise as one of Hollywood's most iconic action heroes, John McClain. However, according to Page Six, Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) last February.

Since his diagnosis, Willis's family has stated that they are coming together for the "Die Hard" star. "While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis," the family said in a statement released from the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration website. "FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone. 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."

Bruce Willis Family Spreading Awareness Regarding Father's Rare Disease

The Willis family, including wife Emma Heming, his five daughters, and even ex-wife Demi Moore, have since come together to go public and talk about the actor's plight.

"On one hand, it's who we are as a family, but also, it's really important for us to spread awareness about FTD," Talluah Willis told Drew Barrymore.

According to Sky News, Tallulah was very candid regarding the condition and admitted that it is taking a family effort to deal with.

"If we can take something that we're struggling with as a family... and help other people to turn it around, to make something beautiful about it, that's really special for us," she shared.

The 29-year-old also noted that she had no idea what FTD was before her father's diagnosis and stated that she is now spending more time with him by listening to music together.

"Playing music and sitting in that and this energy of love, it's really special," she said, adding, "A really beautiful way for me to heal through this is becoming like an archaeologist to my dad's stuff, his world, his little trinkets and doodads."

Brice Willis' Wife Also Opens Up About Struggles in Dealing With Husband's Condition

Emma Heming Willis, wife of Bruce Willis, recently sat down with Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper and opened up about her struggles in dealing with her husband's rare form of dementia.

"I struggle with guilt, knowing that I have resources that others don't," she stated. "When I'm able to get out for a hike to clear my head, it's not lost on me that not all care partners can do that. When what I share about our family's journey gets press attention, I know that there are many thousands of untold, unheard stories, each of them deserving of compassion and concern."

However, she admitted that she knows she has become a voice for others and said that she wanted to share matters with people who may be struggling, telling the website, "I want people to know that when I hear from another family affected by FTD, I hear our family's same story of grief, loss, and immense sadness echoed in theirs."
