Bruce Willis' youngest kids had a super wholesome reaction to seeing their dad’s waxwork, serving up pure proud daughter energy.
The actor’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, took their two little girls, Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, nine, on a trip to Hollywood.
Bruce’s family revealed in February of this year that he has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

This impacts the lobes of the brain behind the forehead, with symptoms such as personality changes, obsessive behavior and speaking difficulties common.
Emma shared snaps to her Instagram Story of the girls’ day out, as the daughters got an insight into just how much of a legend their dad is - just in case they don’t already know that.
They began by visiting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which was added all the way back in 2006 in front of the famous Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

Then, the girls headed to Madame Tussauds, the place, somewhat creepily, filled with wax figures of famous faces.
Bruce’s figure stands with a cut on his face, wearing torn, bloodied clothes, holding a gun and posing dramatically in front of burning buildings - in honor of his action movie roles.
Emma shared a wholesome video of her daughters reacting to seeing their Die Hard-star father.
“Guys, it’s dad!” said little Evelyn before a sassy wag of her finger in her dad’s figure’s face as she said: “You better be on your best behavior.”

As her daughters smiles and laughed away, Emma wrote: “When in Hollywood.”
The girls have posed with the wax version of Bruce before too, as his wife shared a throwback from 2018 of her pretending to kiss his face.
“We’ve done this before. #proudfamvibes,” she wrote.

The model and entrepreneur married Bruce in 2009.
Bruce was previously married to actor Demi Moore between 1987-2000, with whom he shares daughters Rumer, 34, Scout, 31, and Tallulah, 29.
Bruce retired from acting last year due to being diagnosed with aphasia - a brain disorder that affects communication.
In February, both Demi and Emma, as well as the actor’s five daughters posted the statement regarding his FTD diagnosis: “Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis.”

They added: "Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.”
There is no cure for this cruel disease but the family hope the media attention around his illness will shine a light on the need for more awareness and research.
They continued: “Bruce always believed in using his voice in the world to help others, and to raise awareness about important issues both publicly and privately.”
