According to pals, Bruce Willis has been selling up all of his valuable properties in New York and elsewhere in order to prepare for his deteriorating health.
To concentrate on his family life in California, Willis has sold an incredible array of luxury houses valued at around $65 million over the course of several years.
Willis, 67, has been diagnosed with aphasia, a neurological illness that impairs communication, and his family revealed this week that he will retire from acting.

Furthermore, he was aware that he would eventually need to reside in a secure setting with his family rather than having to move between several estates and apartments.
