Bruce Willis Shows Love To First Responders In Rare Public Appearance Amid Wildfires
HuffPost
Tallulah Willis, the actor's daughter, wrote that the clip of her father made her "heart so freaking full."
Bruce Willis took time to thank first responders in Los Angeles as the city’s devastating wildfires continue to burn.
The actor — in an Instagram video shared by his wife, Emma Heming Willis, on Thursday — is seen shaking hands and posing for photos with Los Angeles police officers working during the fires, which have killed at least 27 people and destroyed over 12,000 structures in the area.
Emma Heming Willis captioned the post, “Spotting a first responder, Bruce never missed a chance to show his gratitude with a heartfelt handshake and a ‘thank you for your service.’ Yesterday was no different ❤️🤍💙”
The clip is seemingly the first time that Bruce Willis has made a public appearance since his family announced in 2022 that he’d be retiring from acting after he was diagnosed with aphasia.
His family would later reveal that his condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia, which can cause trouble communicating, emotional problems and unusual behaviors, according to the National Institute of Aging.
