Transgender actress Laverne Cox congratulated Jenner on his decision to come forward, tweeting at the reality star: “Sending lots of love and support to #BruceJenner and their family tonight. It is always brave to stand in one's truth. Congrats darling.”

Lady Gaga was also one of the first celebrities to offer her support, tweeting a series of tweets, including one that dubbed Jenner’s confession a true act of bravery.
Liza Minnelli told Us: "Bruce Jenner has always been and always will be the epitome of courage and strength. However, it takes a true champion to be true to who they really are."
Yolanda Foster also wrote a touching message via Instagram. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star's husband David Foster was previously married to Jenner's second wife, Linda Thompson. "With an open heart & an open mind we watched Bruce last night, I woke up with such a strong sense of compassion and feel blessed with a deeper understanding of this valuable conversation that will hopefully inspire many and save lives. Thank you #BruceJenner for sharing and daring to live an authentic Life, true to you! #MalibuLovesUJustTheWayUAre #WeAreYourVillage."
