Bruce Willis' wife has shared a heartbreaking health update on her husband, who is battling with dementia.
Emma Heming Willis, 44, has said that the treatment options for the 68-year-old are remarkably "slim", writes The Mirror.
The model, who married Bruce back in 2009, gave the update after watching Little Empty Boxes - a documentary from Max Lugavere about his mother's life as she battles dementia.
Posting on Instagram, she wrote: "When you live the world of dementia you know that options are slim.
"But some won’t take that lying down which is how change is made, and I got to witness the beauty in that last night."
Emma went along to the screening of the film and praised the filmmaker, saying his "love for his mother is powerful".
She continued: "His motivation to find answers from leading health experts is inspiring and then be so gracious to share that information is a true blessing."
And she added: "Thank you Max for being so brave and vulnerable to share the journey and spotlighting the importance of brain health."
It wasn't long before the comments section of Emma's post flooded with support from friends and fans, including from the filmmaker Max Lugavere, who wrote: "You're a warrior, and I'm so proud to be in this fight with you."
And Bruce's ex-wife Demi Moore added: "Look forward to seeing it!"
One fan added: "Thank you for all you're doing to help us understand more of how to deal with a loved one with Dementia."
Bruce's ex Demi has reportedly moved into the couple's home following the star's dementia diagnosis and his retirement from acting.
According to reports, Demi moved in with the couple and their two younger daughters to try to ease the pressure as his condition worsens.
Bruce and Emma share two children together - Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, eight.
Back in March the Hollywood actor's family announced that his illness had progressed and he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
The statement said: "Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).
"Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.
"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.
"Bruce always believed in using his voice in the world to help others, and to raise awareness about important issues both publicly and privately."
