The Home and Away family are paying tribute to much-loved crew member Bruce Murray.
Home and Away stars and colleagues have come together to pay tribute to their friend and coworker, Bruce Murray, who sadly passed away after battling stage four oesophageal cancer. Bruce’s diagnosis became public last year when a GoFundMe page was created to support him. It was revealed that the cancer had spread into his bloodstream, leading to multiple tumors on his bones, including his ribs, spine, collarbone, sacrum, and hips.
Both former and current Home and Away stars rallied behind Bruce, with Ada Nicodemou, Matt Little, Georgie Parker, Jessica Tovey, Stephanie Panozzo, Pia Miller, Ethan Browne, Axle Whitehead, and Philippa Northeast, among others, contributing to the fundraiser. Along with donations from producers, staff, and anonymous supporters, the GoFundMe raised $51,000 for his treatment.

“Love you Brucey, you beautiful thing,” Emily Weir, who plays Mackenzie Booth said on Instagram. “What a man, never a dull moment on the set or on the dance floor,” former star Sarah Roberts said. “One of the reasons I loved going to work… couldn’t stop giggling at his jokes and his dance moves. I’ll miss you Brucey!”
“One of the best gone too soon,” Home and Away‘s head of makeup and hair, Laura Vazquez posted on Instagram. “Will miss you, mate. Can’t believe I won’t be seeing you again. RIP Brucey, you absolute legend.”
