Speaking to panelists Kaye Adams and Judi Love, Rumer said: 'He's doing great. I think, obviously as many people in California, the thing we're all kind of the most scared, dealing with is just fires and wanting to make sure everything is okay. 'Because my family, we're all so close, I think what's so beautiful is the way that we rally around each other, [it's] so lovely, because we really are a unit.'.

The actress, who is also the oldest daughter of Demi Moore, revealed what she is most 'grateful' for after her parents split up.

She continued: 'I think the thing I'm most grateful for is that even when they split up, they created such a beautiful foundation of prioritising my sisters and I, that I never felt like I had to choose or like, they never played against each other.

'We were a family, and we still are very much a family no matter what… And not only did I feel like that has set me up in my life to have such a beautiful foundation of my own family, but now, as I'm working through co-parenting as well, I feel deep gratitude for the example they've set.'. Discussing her childhood, she explained: 'Growing up especially, it was the rise of the internet. It was the rise of a lot of celebrity bloggers kind of tearing people down and you know, having to go through an awkward phase in the public eye as you're still discovering yourself, it's definitely challenging. It taught me a lot.'.

Bruce and Demi were wed from 1987 to 2000 yet still maintain an amicable relationship.
