The sighting comes just days after Willis' ex-wife Demi Moore – with whom he has daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30 – made an appearance at the 2024 Hamptons International Film Festival, where she attended Update on the actor's condition was awarded the Career Achievement in Acting Award.

“You know, I’ve said that before. The disease is what the disease is. And I think you have to really deeply accept what that is. But as far as he’s at, he’s stable,” Moore, 61, said, according to People.

“What I always encourage is to meet them where they are. If you hold on to what was, I think it's a losing game, but if you meet them where they are, there's great beauty and sweetness there.”

The “Ghost” actress went on to say that she and her family hoped to share “whatever we have, no matter how long we have it” with the actor.

After announcing Willis' aphasia diagnosis and his retirement from acting in March 2022, the family announced in February 2023 that the actor's condition had deteriorated to the point of frontotemporal dementia.

“FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can affect anyone. In people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because it can take years to be diagnosed, FTD is likely far more common than we know,” the family said in a written statement.

“As Bruce's condition progresses, we hope that media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease, which requires far more education and research,” the family said in a statement at the time. Tallulah Willis / Instagram

The statement continued: “Today there are no treatment options for the disease, a reality that can hopefully change in the coming years.” As Bruce's condition continues to evolve, we hope media attention can be focused on to shine a light on this disease that requires far more education and research.”

Earlier this month, the Pulp Fiction star's daughter Tallulah gave an update on how she's coping with her father's condition in an Instagram post.

“Hey, I love this guy so much and feeling emotions is a hard thing, but I'm so grateful to let them flow through me now instead of separating from them!” Tallulah captioned a carousel of photos below also some souvenir photos.

Willis is now married to Emma Hemming, with whom he has daughters Mabel (12) and Evelyn (10).
