LOS ANGELES —Actor Bruce Willis kept his Caribbean getaway in the Turks and Caicos Islands long enough to renew his wedding vows with model-actress Emma Heming Willis last month, but now the Parrot Cay estate is for sale at $33 million.

Set within COMO Resorts Parrot Cay, the more than seven-acre bay-front property contains three homes with 11 bedrooms and 13.5 bathrooms for a total of 13,500 square feet of interior living space. There are an additional 4,500 square feet under roof and 17,000 square feet of decking with four swimming pools.

To quote his “Die Hard” character John McClane: “Welcome to the party, pal.”

To enhance privacy, the five-bedroom main house and the two three-bedroom guest villas are set apart from one another.

In the main house, a plush movie room sits off the great room. The master bedroom occupies the entire upper level and features sliding glass doors, ocean views, vaulted ceilings, dual closets and a sitting area. A terrace surrounds the suite.

The residences are surrounded by lush lawns, a beachfront yoga pavilion and a children’s playground with a pirate ship. Coconut, banana and papaya trees dot the tropical grounds.

Willis, 64, and Heming Willis, 40, have been married for 10 years.

They have also listed their main residence in Bedford Corners, N.Y., for sale at $13 million. That property includes a 9,000-square-foot, three-story main home and four residences. The family is relocating to the West Coast.

In addition to the “Die Hard” film series, Willis is known for the late-1980s TV series “Moonlighting” and his starring roles in the films “Pulp Fiction” (1994), “The Fifth Element” (1997) and “The Sixth Sense” (1999).

The real estate action is over for John Woo, the director behind such blockbuster films as “Face/Off” and “Mission: Impossible 2.” After a year on the market, Woo has sold his contemporary villa-style home in Pacific Palisades for $5.425 million.

Perched on a knoll in the Riviera area, the gated residence holds a split-level home, a guesthouse and a hedged backyard with a swimming pool and spa.

Tan-toned living spaces mix with hardwood, tile and carpet throughout the 4,555-square-foot interior.

An open-concept living room with vaulted ceilings, a center-island kitchen and a formal dining room are among living spaces.

For amenities, there’s a sky-lit yoga studio, a den with a pingpong table and a wood-paneled media room.

The master suite, one of four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, expands to a sitting area with a fireplace and takes in views of the city and ocean. Multiple balconies extend from the front.

A native of China, Woo made a name for himself in the ’80s with several Hong Kong action films including “A Better Tomorrow” and “The Killer.” His more recent credits include “Red Cliff,” “Reign of Assassins” and “The Crossing,” all of which he produced as well.

CRYPT KEEPER’S LAIR IS NO HORROR

Actor John Kassir, best known for voicing the Crypt Keeper in HBO’s “Tales From the Crypt” series, has listed his scenic home in Topanga for sale at $1.799 million.

Reached by a bridge over a seasonal stream, the serene estate centers on a wood-filled home built in 1922. Redwood and Douglas fir line the windows and doors, and skylights and clerestories brighten the expansive living spaces.

A voluminous living room serves as the centerpiece, offering dyed concrete floors inset with stones and a custom tile fireplace under 17-foot beamed ceilings. Further in, a center-island kitchen adds Honduran mahogany cabinetry and a rounded dining area.

Two bedrooms and two bathrooms fill out the 2,167-square-foot floor plan, including a master suite with a stone fireplace and office nook. The other bedroom opens to a second-story deck that takes in treetop views.

Oak and sycamore trees dot the one-acre grounds, which also hold an outdoor dining area and covered carport.

In addition to “Tales From the Crypt,” which ran for seven seasons on HBO, Kassir has also lent his voice to “Rocket Power,” “The Looney Tunes Show” and “The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.” On the film side, his credits include “Pocahontas,” “Jack the Giant Slayer” and “The Smurfs.”
