Wife Emma Heming Willis has urged paparazzi to stop yelling at him when he’s out in public
After a pause when it became too emotional to speak, she said it was clear there was still a lot of education needed about dementia.
The post was accompanied by a call for carers or dementia care specialists to “get any tips or advice on how to get your loved ones out into the world safely”.

Three weeks ago, the Willis family said communication problems were just a symptom of the illness he was facing.
