(CNN) More celebrities are calling for a boycott of hotels owned by the kingdom of Brunei after it enacted new Islamic laws that make gay sex and adultery punishable by stoning to death.

Comedian Ellen DeGeneres and tennis star Billie Jean King are just the latest to follow actor George Clooney in condemning the harsh new legislation, urging the public to boycott nine hotels owned by the tiny Southeast Asian kingdom -- three in the United Kingdom, two in the United States, two in France and two in Italy.

"We need to do something now," DeGeneres wrote on Instagram along with a list of the hotels.

Comedian Ellen DeGeneres seen onstage in October 2018 has joined other celebrity calls to boycott Brunei-owned hotels.

The luxurious properties include The Beverly Hills Hotel and Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles, The Dorchester in London, Principe di Savoia in Milan and Le Meurice in Paris.

"Raise your voices now. Spread the word. Rise up," DeGeneres said.
