Bruce Willis emerges in his first public appearance since his diagnosis of FTD to show his support for first responders in Southern California.

Willis was diagnosed first with aphasia -- a condition where the brain's ability to understand or express language is impaired, according to the National Institutes of Health -- in 2022 before receiving an additional diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia in 2023, according to his family.

Los Angeles is going through some serious emotions as the recovery from the wildfires begins. The first responders have been incredible with their hard work and dedication in trying to save the community’s homes, and Bruce Willis was there to share his gratitude.
