Last night’s ridiculously tight race threw everyone for a loop, especially Hillary Clinton supporters who thought they had the election in the bag. Unfortunately she lost to her Republican opponent Donald Trump, who will be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States on January 20, 2017. Like many, celebrities responded to the news on social media with a mix of confusion, anger, grief and disappointment. Others opted for a message of hope, which I think we can all agree we need right now.
Check out what your favorite celebrities had to say about the election results last night below.
We stand together. We stick up for the vulnerable. We challenge bigots. We don't let hate speech become normalised. We hold the line. https://t.co/ro9AkRSc9Q

I just want to remind everyone that we are looking at a very close race with a presidential candidate who was endorsed by the KKK.

America, you have failed. What the actual fuck. Devastating. I won't recognize @realDonaldTrump as our president, ever. #dumptrucktrump

I am just absolutely beside myself right now. I can't believe the way this thing has turned. Trying to remain hopeful but geeez louise.
