Hollywood actor Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, his family have announced.
The 67-year-old retired from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia last year, which causes difficulties with speech and cognitive abilities.
His family said it was a "relief to finally have a clear diagnosis".
According to the UK NHS website, frontotemporal dementia is an "uncommon" form of the disease, and affects behaviour and language.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has welcomed a vote of the United Nations General Assembly, which overwhelmingly backed a resolution condemning Russia's invasion his country.
The UN motion called for the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops, as well as reaffirming support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and rejecting any Russian claims to the parts of the country it occupies.
The motion was backed by 141 nations with 32 abstaining and seven, including Russia, voting against it.
The vote comes as Ukrainians mark one year since the Russian invasion.

Votes are being counted in Nigeria’s tightest presidential election since the end of military rule in 1999.
The first results from the election are expected later.
However, following widespread delays and some attacks on polling stations on Saturday, voting has been postponed until Sunday in parts of the country.
In other areas, voting continued through the night.
Turnout appears to be high, especially among young people who make up about a third of the 87 million eligible voters.
This makes it the biggest democratic exercise in Africa.
