Bruce Willis is showing his gratitude for the first responders in Los Angeles as several wildfires ripped through the city over the past week.
Willis was seen in a rare black-and-white video and photo posted to his wife Emma Heming’s Instagram page on Thursday, shaking the hand of two LAPD officers.
“Spotting a first responder, Bruce never missed a chance to show his gratitude with a heartfelt handshake and a ‘thank you for your service,’” Heming wrote in the caption. “Yesterday was no different.”
On her Instagram Stories, Heming reposted the video, writing in text across it, “To all first responders: Thank you for your service.”
Willis’ daughter Tallulah, who he shares with his ex-wife Demi Moore, reacted warmly in the comments, writing, “This makes my heart so freaking full.”

The video of Willis is notable as he is rarely seen in public since it was announced in 2022 that he was diagnosed with aphasia, a brain disorder affecting communication. At the time, it was also announced that the actor would be stepping away from his career due to cognitive issues.
The following year, his family updated his diagnosis to frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a progressive brain condition.
Willis was last seen in November when his daughters Tallulah and Scout Willis shared photos on their Instagram pages with their father.
He was seen at the time holding a desk plate that reads “Best Dad Ever.”
