CELEBRITIES AND FAMILY REACTIONS TO BRUCE JENNER'S ANNOUNCEMENT THAT HE IS TRANSITIONING TO A WOMAN


Many celebrities have spoken about Bruce Jenner's announcement he is transitioning to a woman.

Kris Humphries who is Kim's ex-husband had earlier tweeted, 'Man i'm glad I got out when I did' after Bruce Jenner interview aired. He later apologised and wrote, 'I have and always support Bruce'
Miley Cyrus, Laverne Cox and Ellen Degeneres have sent their well wishes to Bruce.
However, Wendy Williams called Bruce a fame whore before the interview aired.
Below is what the family and other celebrities wrote on social media.
KRIS JENNER: Not only was I able to call him my husband for 25 years and father of my children, Iam now able to call him my hero.
KIM KARDASHIAN; Love is the courage to live the truest, best version of yourself. Bruce is love. I love you Bruce.#ProudDaughter
KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN: Couldn't be a more proud daughter. With courage and bravery, let's change the world. Iam honored to stand by Bruce's side and support him.
SCOTT DISICK: No public comment yet.
KHLOE KARDASHIAN: Just finished watching #BruceJennerInterview with the family. I'm soooo proud of you! Dads really are heros.
ROB KARDASHIAN: You have always been a role model to me and now more than ever, I look up to you. LOVE YOU!
KENDALL JENNER: I love you. so very proud of you, my hero.
KYLIE JENNER: Understandingly, this has been very hard for me. You hear what I have to say when I'm ready to but this isn't about me. I'm so proud of you, Dad. You are so brave. My beautiful 'hero'
BRANDON JENNER; Proud son.
ROB LOWE: I was proud of Bruce Jenner in Montreal and I'm proud of him tonight. Some have to fight more than the rest of us for their happiness.
LADY GAGA: #BruceJennerABC Now that is bravery. We have the chance to write this moment in history together. Let's empower people like Bruce all over the world by being loving & not mean.
JIMMY FALLON: One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind#BruceJenner#Brave
LARRY KING: I've interviewed #BruceJenner many times, and I'm in his corner. I support him & offer my respect.
ANDY COHEN: Mazel Tov to #BruceJenner-very very brave!!!
ELTON JOHN: It's an incredibly brave thing to do, especially when you're older. I admire him for doing it and I support him 100 percent.
DR PHIL MCGRAW: Iam so happy for him. This is his body and his life, and he needs to do what he wants to do. It drains your spirit if you can't be yourself. He is freeing himself.
LENA DUNHAM: I think it's an incredibly powerful and brave move to disclose anything about your gender identity or sexuality in such a judgemental society. The interview is going to mean a lot to a lot of young people.
PATRICIA ARQUETTE: You have to be so brave to live this truth of who you are. And if Mrs. Jenner is transitioning, I give all my support to her and love and appreciate everything she's given to America. She's fighting a fight for a lot of kids that are being kicked out of their own homes. Society turns their back on these kids and it's really brutal.
BOY GEORGE: I absolutely applaud what (Jenner's) doing and I think it's very brave. And it actually makes me quite emotional. (Jenner) has my 150 percent support in every way. I think that the whole transgender thing is the new frontier.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG:This is going to be a little bit of a game changer for people, and dealing with family and how people feel and having those conversations, this is going much bigger than ABC or Diane (Sawyer).
JEFFREY TAMBOR: Any movement toward authenticity is an important movement and everyone can relate to it.
DONALD TRUMP: It's very sad because he doesn't seem very happy, and maybe whatever he's going to be doing will make him happy. If he's happy, I'm happy.
KIRSTIE ALLEY: Trying to find a place for myself midst a world that has mistaken bravery for insanity... Mandela was brave...(She later insisted the tweet had nothing to do with Bruce).
WENDY WILLIAMS: I feel duped by Bruce...I don't feel duped because he's turning into a woman. I feel duped because he's the same fame whore as the rest of the family. Bruce has bigger fish to fry than turning into Belinda. He should have thought about (transitioning) before he had all the kids.... Belinda, shame on you!
