Following Bruce Jenner's interview with Diane Sawyer Friday night, in which he announced his transgender status and decision to transition to a woman, many celebrities took to Twitter to share thoughts of support and kindness.

Several stars, including Lady Gaga and Jimmy Fallon, lauded the former Olympian for his bravery. Jenner's ex-wife, along with many of Jenner's children and stepchildren, also tweeted messages of support and love for their father.
