NEW YORK, Nov. 9 (UPI) — Celebrities on Twitter reacted to Donald Trump‘s presidential victory in the early hours Wednesday morning, with posts ranging from celebratory to disbelief.

Trump’s victory came with 284 Electoral votes, just surpassing the 270 required to secure the win, over Hillary Clinton who stood to be the United States’ first female president.

Various celebrities shared their emotions about the race results on social media.

Legendary Hollywood figure Carl Reiner tweeted early Wednesday that he hopes to live four more years so he can vote against the president-elect in the next election.

“Donald Trump has given me, who is 94, the deep desire & will to live to 98 so I can vote for whoever runs against him,” Reiner said.

Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban called on Americans to support Trump and work together going forward.

“We all need to give President-Elect Trump a chance. Support the good. Lobby against what we disagree on. No one is bigger than us all,” he tweeted.

“How do you explain to young girls in tears at Hillary HQ that women voted for Trump and misogyny is the way of the world? I won’t. It’s not,” she said.
