New photos of Bruce Willis taking a walk on a beach in Los Angeles were published by TMZ on Thursday, Nov. 6. In the pics, the Die Hard actor, 70, appeared to be enjoying some fresh air while accompanied by a caretaker.
TMZ posted the photos on social media, where dozens of fans reacted. While many were happy to see Willis up and about, just as many were upset that he wasn’t afforded privacy during his stroll.
“Leave the man alone, let him live without you retards pointing cameras at him,” one person wrote on X.
“Jesus Christ leave the man alone,” someone else said.

“Maybe you should leave him alone since he doesn’t even know why you’re taking pictures of him,” a third comment read.
“Just stop and let this man live what life he has left, without you following him and constantly taking pictures. TMZ should be totally ashamed,” a fourth X user added.
This isn’t the first time that photos of Willis have sent the internet into an uproar, either. Back in May, the Daily Mail posted photos of Willis riding in the passenger’s seat of a black SUV in Studio City. The fan reactions were similar to the ones posted this time around.
Willis was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022. Additional testing uncovered a more specific diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). According to the Mayo Clinic, patients with FTD can have a variety of symptoms ranging from “increasingly inappropriate social behavior” to “compulsive behaviors such as tapping, clapping, or smacking lips over and over.”
Willis retired from acting upon his initial diagnosis. In the time since, his family has shared a handful of updates and some photos of the actor as they all navigate this new normal.
