Willis was diagnosed first with aphasia -- a condition where the brain's ability to understand or express language is impaired, according to the National Institutes of Health -- in 2022 before receiving an additional diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia in 2023, according to his family.

Bruce Willis recently made a rare public appearance to thank first responders amid the Los Angeles wildfires, marking his first regular sighting since his 2022 aphasia diagnosis, which was later confirmed as frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

The iconic actor, in the midst of a dementia diagnosis, took time to visit first responders battling the Los Angeles wildfires in a rare new video.
