Emma Heming Willis has sent a clear message to fans — and to the media.

“To Whom It May Concern: If you ever come across a story that begins with “sources close to the family say…,” do yourself a favor and stop reading,” Heming Willis wrote on her Instagram Stories on July 26.

“And to any outlet that runs with those kinds of stories, do better. Giving a platform to anonymous speculation is not only careless, it’s harmful. Onward,” she added.

Heming Willis’ statement comes on the heels of reports that her husband, actor Bruce Willis, is no longer able to speak or walk. A number of unconfirmed reports surfaced this week suggesting that the Die Hard star’s health has declined.

Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023. The condition affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain and can affect a person’s personality, behavior and language, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Willis has a strong support system, which consists of his wife, whom he married in 2009, his ex-wife, Demi Moore, and his five daughters. Over the past couple of years, the whole family has done their best to keep Willis’ spirits high.

There have been a number of times that his family, especially his older daughters, have shared updates on their father, but they tend to keep it simple, affording their dad the ability to live his life privately.
