Bruce Willis shakes hands with first responders in rare public appearance video

LOS ANGELES – Actor Bruce Willis made a rare public appearance amid the Southern California wildfires to show gratitude to first responders.

In a video shared by his wife, Emma Heming Willis, on Instagram, the “Die Hard” star was seen shaking hands with members of the Los Angeles Police Department. “Bruce never missed a chance to show his gratitude with a heartfelt handshake and a ‘thank you for your service,’” Heming Willis wrote.

Willis, who retired from acting in 2022, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023. FTD, as explained by Johns Hopkins Medicine, is a form of dementia caused by nerve cell loss in the brain’s frontal and temporal lobes.

Since his diagnosis, Willis’ family has provided updates on his condition while sharing glimpses of his personal moments, as seen in this touching gesture of appreciation.
