Bruce Willis thanked first responders who are battling the devastating LA wildfires.
The “Die Hard” actor, who has dementia, greeted police officers and shook hands with one of them in a sweet, rare video shared on Thursday by his wife, Emma Heming Willis.
“Spotting a first responder, Bruce never missed a chance to show his gratitude with a heartfelt handshake and a ‘thank you for your service,’” Emma, 46, wrote alongside the clip.
“Yesterday was no different ❤️🤍💙,” she added.
In the video, set to the Led Zeppelin song “Going to California,” Bruce had a big smile on his face as he thanked the police officers outside in LA.
The “Pulp Fiction” star wore a white jacket, a black shirt, black jeans and a New York Yankees baseball cap.
Tallulah Willis, Bruce’s youngest daughter with his ex-wife Demi Moore, commented on her stepmom’s video, “This makes my heart so freaking full.”
Fans also flooded Emma’s comments section praising Bruce.
“Such a beautiful caring man. They will appreciate it so much too x,” one person wrote.
“😍😍 He’s an amazing man,” another fan said.
A third person wrote, “This brought tears to my eyes! ❤️.”
A different fan said, “WOW Awesome Bruce looks great.”
It’s unclear if Bruce and Emma’s home in Los Angeles has been impacted by the fires. They reportedly have a $10 million house in Brentwood, where residents including Ben Affleck had to evacuate last week due to the Palisades Fire. However, the fire did not hit Brentwood.
Bruce rarely steps out in public amid his dementia health battle.
His family announced in March 2022 that he was diagnosed with aphasia and would be “stepping away” from acting.
It was later revealed that Bruce had frontotemporal dementia, a progressive and terminal disease that affects behavior, language and occupational functioning.
“Moonlighting” creator Glenn Gordon Caron, who is still friends with Bruce, told The Post in 2023 that the actor is not “totally verbal.”
“He used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he’s not reading now,” said Caron. “All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he’s still Bruce.”
Bruce’s loved ones — which includes Emma, their daughters Mabel, 12, and Evelyn, 10, Moore, 62, and his and Moore’s daughters Tallulah, Scout, 33, and Rumer, 36, have given gradual updates on his health since his diagnosis.
In an October interview with Town & Country, Emma said, “His disease is misdiagnosed, it’s missed, it’s misunderstood, so finally getting to a diagnosis was key so that I could learn what frontotemporal dementia is and I could educate our children.”
“I’ve never tried to sugarcoat anything for them,” she added. “They’ve grown up with Bruce declining over the years. I’m not trying to shield them from it.”
