Following the announcement that the 67-year-old actor had aphasia, Emma, 43, has thanked fans for their outpouring of support.

"Your love, support, compassion, prayers really help. I'm grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart," she wrote in an earlier post on her Instagram Story.

The family's official statement about the diagnosis revealed the family's realistic emotions about it. They claimed that it is a "tremendously difficult moment" for thier family and yet, they could not thank the fans enough.

"We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him," the statement read.

In recent projects, Willis reportedly had difficulties remembering his lines, according to an exclusive story from Page Six.

Those who have lately worked with Willis have expressed concern about his cognitive impairment, according to the Los Angeles Times. He had a hard time remembering his lines and had to be fed them through an earpiece at times. To save time, parts of his lines were trimmed and body doubles were used for action sequences with intricate choreography.

There isn't much to worry about in terms of new Willis movies for a very long time though. Gasoline Alley" and "A Day to Die" are two of his projects due out this year, and a whopping eight more movies are either finished or in post-production, according to IMDB.

Aphasia is defined as the damage to the parts of the brain involved in the generation or processing of language results. Depending on the kind and location of affected brain tissue, aphasia can strike quickly or develop over time.

Aphasia is a sign of injury to the brain, not a disease in and of itself. When language-related parts of the brain are affected by illnesses such as brain tumors, infections, inflammation, head injuries, or dementia, aphasia can be diagnosed. it is more commonly encountered in stroke victims.

Aphasia affects an estimated one million people in the United States today.
