Bruce Willis was spotted taking a ride on a sweltering Sunday in Studio City, California, as he continues to face health challenges related to aphasia and dementia.

The 69-year-old actor, known for his role in *Pulp Fiction*, was seen sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle, wearing a black ball cap and a collared button-up shirt with gray horizontal stripes.

Amid a Southern California heat wave, with temperatures reaching up to 107 degrees in Studio City according to AccuWeather, the *Last Boy Scout* star was observed checking the side mirror of the car.

The actor from *The Sixth Sense* has five daughters: Mabel Ray, 12, and Evelyn, 10, with his wife Emma Heming Willis, 46; and Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30, with his ex-wife Demi Moore, 61.

During his daytime outing, Willis was seen with bodyguards, according to eyewitnesses. This appearance comes just weeks after Rumer shared a post about him on Instagram Stories.

At 69, Bruce Willis was seen taking a ride on a sweltering Sunday in Studio City, California, as he continues to face health challenges related to aphasia and dementia.

In a post from August 22, Rumer shared a photo of herself holding her father’s hand and responded to a question about how he’s been doing amid his health struggles. Rumer commented, “He is great. I love him so much. Thank you.”

In May, Rumer shared on the *Today* show that her father was doing “good” and enjoying time with her one-year-old daughter Louetta, whom she shares with ex Derek Richard Thomas.

“I actually saw him just before I came out to New York,” she said. “Lou is starting to walk a little, and she walked over to him—it was so sweet.”

Rumer added, “It’s wonderful because my dad is truly a girl dad. It brings out that special, little-kid, girl-dad side of him. He’s incredibly sweet with her.”

She also mentioned that she and her family have been open about their health struggles to raise awareness. “Our vulnerability and transparency about what he’s going through is so important to me,” Rumer said. “If it can help another family dealing with something similar, or bring more attention to the disease in hopes of finding a cure or providing support, I think that’s really important.”

The *Die Hard* star’s health battle became public over two years ago, when his daughters, wife, and ex-wife released a joint statement on Instagram on March 30, 2022, announcing his aphasia diagnosis.

In June, Willis and his wife, Emma Heming Willis, were seen embracing each other.

They shared that the Hollywood icon had been experiencing health issues and was recently diagnosed with aphasia, which affects his cognitive abilities. They announced that Bruce would be stepping away from his career, which has been so important to him.

“This is a really challenging time for our family, and we deeply appreciate your continued love, compassion, and support,” they said. “We are navigating this as a strong family unit and wanted to include his fans because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him. As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up,’ and together we plan to do just that.”

On February 16, 2023, the family released a statement revealing that Bruce had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), the most common form of dementia, and that there are currently no treatments for the disease.

“As Bruce’s condition progresses, we hope that media attention will help raise awareness and encourage research for this disease,” the family said. “Bruce has always believed in using his voice to help others and to bring attention to important issues. We know he would want to use this opportunity to connect with others affected by this debilitating disease and highlight its impact on individuals and their families.”

The Mayo Clinic defines aphasia as “a condition that affects your ability to communicate,” impacting speech, writing, and comprehension of both spoken and written language.

The family did not specify the cause of his aphasia, which can have various origins. The condition may result from a head injury or stroke, or it could be a precursor to a brain tumor or Alzheimer’s disease.

Typically, individuals with aphasia receive treatment through speech therapy and are taught alternative methods of non-verbal communication.
