Bruce Willis' lodge destroyed

Actor Bruce Willis and his girlfriend Emma Heming are shown at the premiere of "The House Bunny" in Los Angeles in this August 20, 2008 file photograph. Willis and Heming were married during a small private wedding ceremony March 21, 2009 at the actors' home in Parrot Cay, Turks & Caicos, according to Willis' publicist Paul Bloch. The couple will be having a civil ceremony when they return to California.

Bruce Willis' holiday home has burned down.

The 'Die Hard' star's ski lodge in Fairfield, Connecticut, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning (30.03.09).

The building - which is co-owned by the star's Valley Entertainment Group - was vacant at the time as the ski season ended on Saturday (28.03.09).

Some employees were still in the area, but no one was injured in the blaze, which is thought to have started near a fireplace in the north end of the lodge at around 7.30am.

Less than four hours later, the structure and an adjacent ski rental building were razed to the ground.

However, Bruce is unlikely to be upset by the news - he was reportedly considering bulldozing the lodge and building a new, bigger structure.

Meanwhile, the 54-year-old star and lingerie model Emma Heming - who married in an intimate ceremony in the Caribbean earlier this month - have enjoyed a second wedding.

The pair had a simple civil ceremony at a friend's house in Hollywood last Friday (27.03.09) to make their union valid in the US.
