Tallulah Willis recently shared an update on her father, Brice Willis, while appearing on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” When asked how her father is doing as he battles frontotemporal dementia, Tallulah said, “He is the same, which I think in this regard I\u2019ve learned is the best thing you can ask for.” She continued, “I see love when I\u2019m with him, and it\u2019s my dad, and he loves me, which is really special.” Barrymore then asked Tallulah about her family’s choice to be so open about Bruce’s battle with dementia where Tallulah said, “Well, I think it\u2019s twofold. On one hand, it\u2019s who we are as a family, but also, it\u2019s really important for us to spread awareness. If we can take something that we\u2019re struggling with as a family to help other people, to turn it around to make something beautiful about it, that\u2019s really special for us.” She added, “And part of what\u2019s been a really beautiful way for me to heal through this is becoming like an archeologist to my dad\u2019s world, to his little trinkets and doo-dads.”<\/p>\n

Bruce retired from acting in 2022 after he was diagnosed with aphasia. Months later, his family announced that his condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia. “Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce\u2019s original diagnosis,” the family wrote in a statement. “In the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing. Since we announced Bruce\u2019s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce\u2019s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).\u00a0Unfortunately, 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.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
