Donald Trump has declared himself the winner of the 2024 US presidential election over Kamala Harris, and celebrities have taken to social media to react.
Moments ahead of his speech – in which Trump promised to help America ‘heal’ – Fox News, a right-wing broadcaster, and NBC, a left-wing broadcaster, said Trump had triumphed over Democrat candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris after a tough fight.
Key states won by Trump include Georgia, Pennsylvania and Texas, after the result tipped in his favour overnight from Indiana, West Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama and Oklahoma all voting red.
But after many celebrities took to social media to endorse Kamala Harris – including Barbara Streisand, Spike Lee, Mark Hamill, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cardi B, Charli XCX, Lil Nas X, Kerry Washington, Mark Ruffalo, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Shonda Rhimes – they are now sharing their reactions to the Republican win.
Meanwhile, famous Trump supporters are few and far between – or haven’t been so vocal – with only a handful of familiar faces having endorsed him for President.

Among those who did were Elon Musk – who poured millions into his X campaign to support Trump – Dana White, Hulk Hogan, Amber Rose, 50 Cent, and Kerry Katona.
But many who endorsed Harris have now taken to social media to express their disappointment at the result.
Dawn O’Porter shared a picture of all the US states lit up in Republican red, and wrote: ‘This is breaking my heart. After all that, still this.’
Cardi B took to her Instagram as the results were rolling in, and said: ‘I’m f***ing sad. I’m f***ing sad. I don’t know I’m just really f***ing annoyed.’
She continued: ‘I see that Kamala didn’t come out to talk at Howard. As strong as she is, I know she’s probably emotional right now. There’s a lot going on in her mind. I just hope she knows that millions of people are proud of her, I’m proud of her.

‘Women around the world are proud of her. Women of colour are proud of her. At the beginning of the year I didn’t want to go for nobody, she changed my mind.’
Actress Lili Reinhart said: ‘I cannot fathom the feeling of the women who came forward about their sexual assault at the hands of Trump.
‘Seeing millions of people vote for their abuser. My heart absolutely breaks for these women. I believe you, and I am so sorry.’
Carol Vorderman took to X and wrote: ‘On @CNN Looks like Trump will win. God help America. And the UK too when he introduces tariffs against us very soon Right wingers..
‘Voted Brexit to cut back UK trading with the Euro market…. & cheered on a man who’ll cut back trade with USA…well done.
‘But….the boats…or should I say the bait.
Alongside a picture of him on the beach with his dog, Chris Packham wrote: ‘Things have just got a lot more difficult. Here’s what I think. I had no control over what just happened. None.
‘But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good, the grip on my dreams just got tighter.’
Activist Livia Firth – who was married to Colin Firth for 21 years – asked on social media: ‘What is a word bigger than heartache…..’
She offered: Agony, anguish, bitterness, despair, grief, heartache, pain, remorse, sorrow, suffering, torment, woe. Strong Matches. Affliction, bale, care, desolation, distress, heartsickness, regret, rue, torture.’

Singer Paloma Faith took to Instagram with a bleak statement, which said: Oh great he’s back: goodbye women’s rights, goodbye liberalism, goodbye freedom of speech. Hello racism, hello capitalism, hello climage change, hello war, hello end days.’
Guardians Of The Galaxy star Chris Pratt has said that, despite the results of the US presidential election, Americans need to “focus instead on showing up for each other”.
The Hollywood actor wrote a piece for his mother-in-law Maria Shriver’s newsletter in which he suggested Americans must ‘accept the results’ whatever they may be and concentrate on their civic duty.
‘Like so many of us, I’ve been doomscrolling my way through this election season,’ the 45-year-old wrote in the Sunday Paper.
Paloma Faith shared this bleak message
‘And I see things from both sides. I understand that people’s lives and rights are on the line.
‘I also see that there are millions of people who feel overlooked and invisible to our government and are desperate for something to change.’

The Jurassic World star said ‘about half of the voting population’ will be ‘incredibly disappointed’ on Wednesday as the US election results trickle in.
‘It’s OK to take a moment to lick your wounds when you lose. Heck, go ahead and cry in the mirror,’ he wrote.
‘But if we become too paralysed by defeat or too pompous in victory, allegiance to our ‘team’ can blind us to the fact that we are fellow countrymen.
