Bruce Jenner has been on our small screens for years as the grounded, lovable dad in ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians‘ – as step-father to Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Rob, as well as father to Kendall and Kylie.

His bravery and the awareness he raised have been praised by many celebrities – here are 5 of the best celebrity reactions to his moving interview.

During a performance in New Zealand, Demi took a moment to dedicate a song to Bruce: “I just want to dedicate this song…It’s so cheesy that I’m even doing this, but whatever. I want to dedicate it to someone who became an even bigger hero last night – Bruce Jenner! No matter if you agree with it or not, he probably saved so many lives and educated so many people [about] transitioning into becoming a woman and being transgender and what that’s all about. So, yeah, I just want to dedicate it to Bruce Jenner.”
