Bruce Willis' wife thanks 'caring and supporting' fans after heartbreaking announcement

Emma Heming Willis has thanked fans for being "so loving and caring" as her husband Bruce Willis battles dementia.

The 44-year-old recently admitted that treatment options are remarkably "slim" for the 68-year-old actor and was met with a wave of support from fans.

She has now taken to her Instagram Story to share how "lucky" she feels to be part of such a supportive community.

Emma re-posted a video from her friend opening a gift from her new brand, Make Time Wellness.

Captioning the post, Emma wrote: "The FTD community is so loving, caring and supportive. Thank you @remembermepodcast. I'm lucky to know you ladies."

The post comes after she made a frank admission about her husband's condition, but insisted she would not stop fighting.

The model revealed "options are slim" for Bruce as she praised filmmaker Max Lugavere for his new documentary, which focuses on his mother's struggles with dementia.

"When you live the world of dementia you know that options are slim," Emma shared with fans on Instagram.

"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."

Speaking about Max, 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."

Emma added: "Thank you Max for being so brave and vulnerable to share the journey and spotlighting the importance of brain health."

Her comments section was quickly filled with support from fans, with one person writing: "Thank you for all your doing to help us understand more of how to deal with a loved one with Dementia."

Another fan said: "Thank you Emm for sharing this and Max for making it! Hope to see it! Prayers for you both and your families!"

"So important today," a third person added, with clapping hands emojis.
