The Willis family is keen on updating fans about the Die Hard actor’s health. detailing that it’s beyond just telling stories, but rather is a way to spread awareness about FTD. “If we can take something that we’re struggling with as a family to help other people, to turn it around to make something beautiful about it, that’s really special for us,” she said.

In her published essay for Vogue in June, she shared how she is coping with her father’s FTD diagnosis. “Every time I go to my dad’s house, I take tons of photos — of whatever I see, the state of things. I’m like an archaeologist, searching for treasure in stuff that I never used to pay much attention to,” she wrote, noting that she is actively documenting things “for the day when he isn’t there to remind me of him and of us.”
