Australians have voted in favour of legalising same-sex marriage in a historic poll.

The postal vote was held to see if there was support to change the law.

More than 60% of Aussies voted in favour of allowing same-sex couples to wed.

Celebs from across the world have taken to social media to celebrate the result.

Supporters of gay marriage celebrated across Australia after the result was declared.

More than 12.7 million people took part in the eight-week poll.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said his government would now aim to make it law by Christmas.

Aussie Kylie Minogue, who previously said she would not get wed until same-sex marriage was legal, tweeted her support.

Dustin Lance Black, who is married to Tom Daley, wrote: "Thank you Australia".
