Emma Heming says Bruce Willis' 'compassionate' youngest daughter is educating herself on his dementia

Emma Heming Willis on Monday shared that her 9-year-old daughter Evelyn is educating herself on her father Bruce Willis’ disease after his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis

"So, I have to tell you this story, and I'm going to try and do it without crying because when Evelyn told me this I was an absolute puddle," the 44-year-old shared in a video post on her Instagram. 

She said her daughter asked her a few days ago, "Did you know that people with dementia can become severely dehydrated?"

Heming Willis told her daughter she was not aware of that but inquired how she knew.

"She said, 'Well, I was at school the other day,’ and she said, ‘and I had some free time, and I was looking up fun facts about dementia.’"

While the mom of two said looking up "fun facts" about dementia "isn’t funny, it’s kinda funny," she added, touching her heart, because she said it reminded her that Evelyn "really is her father’s child because these two really just love some random facts."

She said she told Evelyn they would always make sure Willis had a bottle of water with him, and explained to her, "That is the most loving and compassionate thing that you can do is be curious and educate yourself on your dad’s disease."

Expanding on that idea in a second video, Heming Willis said one of the "most loving and compassionate things we can do" as caregivers and family and friends of people who have been diagnosed with an illness is to "educate ourselves about our loved one’s disease."

She added, "So, keep educating yourself, stay curious and remember to hydrate your loved ones." 

The "Die Hard" actor has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, his family announced in February. He had a previous diagnosis with aphasia last year and stepped away from acting at that time. 

WIllis and Heming Willis also have an 11-year-old named Mabel, and the "Sixth Sense" actor has three grown daughters – Rumer, 34, Scout, 31, and Tallulah, 29 – whom he shares with ex-wife Demi Moore. Bruce recently became a first-time grandfather after Rumer welcomed a daughter last month. 

Pennsylvania bear attack left two young children injured: officials

Two young children suffered injuries from a bear attack in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

The five-year-old and 1-year-old were playing in the driveway of their home in Wright Township on Monday when they suffered non-life threatening injuries from a bear. They were treated for bites and scratches at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital but were later released.

The Game Commission, which is investigating the incident, said there are few details about the incident or what may have led to the attack. The agency has set two bear traps in the area.

The agency said that, if a bear is caught, DNA testing may be able to positively determine whether it is the same bear that attacked the children.

Bears in the state typically avoid contact with people and rarely attack, according to the Game Commission.

"When attacks do occur, it often involves a situation where a bear is cornered and not given an opportunity to flee, or is triggered by a dog confronting a bear, and the dog’s owner becoming involved," the agency wrote on Facebook.

The bear involved in Monday’s attack likely is not prone to attack, the agency said, adding that the attack was more likely triggered by "some unknown circumstance." 

If the bear involved in the attack is captured, it will be euthanized as a precaution.

"Bears have a natural fear of people, but they can lose some of that fear when living close to people, and especially if they’re fed," the Game Commission wrote. "For this reason, it is unlawful in Pennsylvania to intentionally feed bears." 

"But even without intentional feeding, bears can be drawn to properties where they can find an easy meal at a birdfeeder, by raiding compost bins or trash cans, or toppling a charred grill," the post continued. "Those who live in bear country might consider removing these potential food sources from places where bears might get them, and where bears have been a problem recently, such items definitely should be removed."

There are roughly 15,000 bears in Pennsylvania.
