Most celebrities, including British author J.K. Rowling, late-night host James Corden and comedian Ricky Gervais reacted with disbelief and sadness to the news.

However, a small number celebrated the vote, including actress Elizabeth Hurley and comedian Roseanne Barr, who called it a “working class revolution.”
