Celebs React to Brexit Vote - Britain Leaving the EU

The U.K. made history on Thursday, when they voted to "Brexit" to EU, to the shock of many around the world.

The referendum result, which saw a 33 million voter turn out, with U.K. media outlets reporting a 52 to 48 percent decision in favor of the exit, was announced early Friday morning, and the British pound hit its lowest level since 1985. Prime Minister David Cameron also resigned.

Following the monumental news, a slew of celebrities took to Twitter to express their shock over Brexit.

"I can't get my head around what's happening in Britain," Late late Show host James Corden tweeted. "I'm so sorry to the youth of Britain, I fear you've been let down today."

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who has been a vocal supporter of the 'Remain' campaign and strongly opposed the push for an independent Scotland in 2014, was quick to react to results.

"I don't think I've ever wanted magic more," she tweeted, as results were lining up a lead for the 'Out' campaign. She then grimly added "Goodbye UK."

She also shared her concern that Scotland would soon opt to vote for independence.

Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan, who's been living in London was live tweeting as the decision came down but later deleted those messages. "Good luck with the pound," one tweet read. "Will take you about 15 years to get it back up #REMAIN instead."

Ellie Goulding: "Heartbroken to hear the news. I truly believe this is one of the most devastating things to happen during my lifetime. I felt a fear I've never felt this morning."

Jaime King: "That was f**king intense UK. We are with you during this time."

Hugh Laurie: "Congratulations exiters. Reverse is across and down, easy on the clutch,"

Michael Sheen: "Wales votes to rust a new and more right wing Tory leadership to invest as much money into its poorer areas as EU has been doing #EUref".

Ryan Seacrest: "Shocking news out of UK this morning. Definitely a day for the history books.....#Brexit."

Boy George: "There's no use crying over spilt milk. We'll just ave to mek (sic) the best of it."
