Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane has heartbreakingly revealed that he has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

ALS, which is known in some countries as motor neurone disease, is a rare and incurable degenerative condition that impairs the nervous system over time and causes the muscles to increasingly suffer from paralysis.

About half of ALS patients have a life expectancy of three years after the initial onset of symptoms, though some can survive for decades.

'I have been diagnosed with ALS,' Eric, 52, said in a statement to People. 'I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.'

The news comes a month after Eric and his wife Rebecca Gayheart - with whom he shares daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13 - called off their divorce.
