Bruce Willis will step away from his acting career after being diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that impedes a person's ability to speak and write.

The actor's family, including his wife Emma Heming-Willis and ex-wife Demi Moore, announced his condition on Instagram yesterday.

A joint statement by the family says aphasia is impacting his cognitive abilities.

Willis, 67, is best known for playing John McClane in the Die Hard films, which made him a star.

The family says this is a really challenging time for their family and they are so appreciative of the continued love, compassion and support.

Willis has five daughters, three with Moore and two with Heming-Willis.
