Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars have threatened to leave the US following Donald Trump’s election victory over Kamala Harris.

Mr Trump soared to victory this week, causing a divided reaction around the world.

Barbie star America Ferrera is reportedly planning on fleeing the US in search of a better life for her children.

“America is sick that Donald Trump is President again,” an insider told Daily Mail. “She is devastated that Kamala lost. She thought the country she lived in was better than that.”

Meanwhile Cher claimed to The Guardian that she dealt with health issues that were directly sparked by Mr Trump’s first presidency term and said she would be leaving the country for good if he won again.

Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner also pledged to “get the f**k out” of America and return to her home country of the UK.

On a podcast interview in July, former Disney star Raven-Symoné expressed on The View that she would leave the country if Mr Trump won the election.

Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars have shared their thoughts on the landslide result, with many taking to social media to air their dismay at Mr Trump taking such a resounding win.

Pop star Billie Eilish, 22, who proudly endorsed Kamala Harris on multiple occasions in the lead-up to the election, posted a brief yet powerful statement on her Instagram story, writing, “It’s a war on women.”

Fellow pop singer Ariana Grande, 31, who spent the weekend in Australia for the global premiere of Wicked in Sydney, was also left despondent by the result.

“Holding the hand of every person who is feeling the immeasurable heaviness of the outcome today,” Grande wrote on her Instagram story.

Actress Christina Applegate took to X to vent, revealing that her daughter had been “sobbing” over the result.

“Why? Give me your reasons why????? My child is sobbing because her rights as a woman may be taken away. Why? And if you disagree, please unfollow me,” she wrote before sharing her own anger.

“Unfollow me because what you did is unreal,” she wrote.
