From Seth MacFarlane to Jessica Chastain, Chris Evans to Mark Ruffalo – celebrities have been taking to Twitter to share their reactions to Donald Trump's election as President of the United States.
Most of Hollywood shared their support for Trump's opponent Hillary Clinton in the run up to the election, so - spoiler alert - they're not happy with their next Commander in Chief.
"Some didn't like Bush. Some didn't like Obama. But this is different. Forget dislike. Many are genuinely fearful now. This is new," tweeted Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane.
Singer Kelly Clarkson echoed his sentiment saying she has "never been more nervous/scared in my life."

Two-time Academy Award nominee Chastain tweeted, "The positive element from all this is that we can no longer pretend that we are free of racism & sexism. The question is, what do we do now?"
While Michelle Rodriguez begged the question, "I wonder when in American history were women truly celebrated, not as a wife mother or sister but as human capable of leadership & guidance."
Captain America star Chris Evans described election night as "an embarrassing night for America" adding that he is "devastated" by the result.
This is an embarrassing night for America. We've let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We've let a bully set our course. I'm devastated.

"Biggest loser tonight is the human race. Cause climate change is gone as an issue in Trump America. THIS IS A HUGE DEAL," said The Big Short and Anchorman director Adam McKay.
Lady Gaga told her followers to "say a prayer", while Lily Allen joked that "Canada need to think about building a wall".

"This kind of shock will cause people to actually think about what's possible and how we imagine the future," said actor John Cusack.
Modern Family star Ariel Winter shared her shock, posting: "America, you have failed. What the actual f***. Devastating."
Winter's co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson told his followers, "I'm taking tonight to grieve for minorities, women, immigrants, Muslims & the LGBTQ community but tomorrow I'm waking up ready to fight."

Mark Ruffalo said in a similar vein, "You know what we do now? We finish building what we started and we FIGHT BACK! Lift your heads up brothers and sisters."
Wow. She conceded. Wow.

The unthinkable happened before, to my family in WWII. We got thru it. We held each other close. We kept our dignity and held to our ideals.
