Overview
- Emma Heming Willis announced the Emma and Bruce Willis Fund last week at the AFTD Hope Rising gala, where she accepted the Susan Newhouse & Si Newhouse Award of Hope.
- The fund, managed by the Entertainment Industry Foundation, aims to raise awareness, finance promising frontotemporal dementia research, and provide caregiver support.
- Demi Moore posted photos of Willis with their granddaughter Louetta, writing “All you need is love,” as relatives shared public birthday messages.
- In her birthday post, Heming invited supporters to honor Willis by donating to the fund or by checking in on a caregiver.
- Willis retired after a 2022 aphasia announcement and a 2023 update to frontotemporal dementia; in recent remarks, Heming said family long attributed early changes to hearing loss reportedly stemming from a Die Hard set incident.
