Bruce Willis made a rare outing in Los Angeles earlier this week amid his battle with dementia. The Hollywood veteran, who has maintained a low profile since his diagnosis, was spotted greeting first responders involved in fighting the deadly Pacific Palisades wildfires.

Last month, Bruce's ex-wife, Demi Moore, gave an update on his well-being amid his battle with dementia. In an interview with CNN, the 62-year-old actress explained that the actor is "in a very stable place," but it hasn't been easy watching him struggle.

Bruce Willis retired from acting in 2022 and was then diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. He's rarely been seen in public since then.
