Amy Schumer said she was just joking when she said she’d leave the country if Donald Trump was elected president.

Schumer, a distant cousin of Sen. Chuck Schumer, told BBC Newsnight in September she would move to Spain should Trump win.

“My act will change because I will need to learn to speak Spanish because I will move to Spain or somewhere,” she said. “It’s beyond my comprehension if Trump won. It’s too crazy.”

However, on Wednesday morning, she took to Instagram to inform fans she was staying in America.

Schumer noted she had also said she would move to London.

“First of all the interview where I said I would move was in London and was said in jest. Not that anyone needs more than a headline to count something as official news,” she wrote on Instagram.

The star added in her lengthy post that she was grieving. “I am furious. I cry for her and for all the smart people I love…”

In a turn of events that shocked many people across the country, Trump defeated Hillary Clinton.

Schumer is just one of many celebs who said they would leave the country if Trump won. Stars like Bryan Cranston, Samuel L. Jackson, Jon Stewart, Lena Dunham, Barbra Streisand and Chelsea Handler have all made similar declarations.

Like Schumer, Raven-Symoné promised to leave the US if a Trump victory was declared. She proclaimed on “The View” she had a plane ticket and was ready to leave.

“My confession for this election is … [should the Republican candidate win] I’m gonna move to Canada with my entire family. I already have my ticket.”

On election night, Lifetime aired footage of Raven-Symoné trying her hand at hockey in Canada. “The View” host did not return FOX411’s request for comment.

But some of Hollywood’s elite are speaking out against the stars who promised to move. A handful of vocal stars say United States citizens planning to abandon the US need to cool it.

Jon Cryer and Kal Penn told their followers that moving was the wrong approach. Penn explained in a tweet, “Stop it [with] the moving to Canada s–t. Double down on the country we love. If Trump becomes president, we have to get MORE involved not less.”
