Demi Moore shared pictures from her daughter Tallulah's 30th birthday celebrations with family including sister Scout LaRue Willis and her dad Bruce Willis (@demimoore/instagram)The family celebration comes as Bruce continues his worsening dementia battle, which has reportedly left him nonverbal. Last year Bruce's family confirmed the star's health had deteriorated and he had been diagnosed with language disorder aphasia that had since progressed to a frontotemporal dementia diagnosis. The disease has a typical life expectancy of between six and eight years but can be as low as two years in some cases.
Bruce Willis diagnosed with dementia as family release emotional statement
Bruce was originally diagnosed as suffering from aphasia in March 2022 then in February 2023 his rare dementia diagnosis was confirmed and made public. Demi has since opened up about life after 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.

The family celebration comes as they rally round to support Bruce during his worsening battle with dementia (B4859 / Avalon)"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."
Last year a source close to the family claimed that the family had come together to spend as much time as possible with Bruce, with the source explaining to US Weekly: "Bruce has good days and bad days, but in the last two months, there are many more bad days than good. This experience has brought the whole family even closer together. No one knows how much time Bruce has left, so they're soaking up every moment they get with him. Bruce has around-the-clock care, but at least one family member is always with him."
A further source then confirmed that the whole family is so determined to be with Bruce as much as possible that they are pretty much living together. They said: "They’re all there all the time. Once Bruce was diagnosed, everyone came together to keep his memory of the family intact and to be there as a constant reminder they love him. Everything revolves around him."
