As she left the Javits Center, Working Girl actress Melanie Griffith told Inside Edition: "I am staying positive. Hillary is my woman."

Many of the same celebrities who fought for a Clinton victory used social media to convey their devastation.

Captain America star Chris Evans took to Twitter to express his disbelief.

This is an embarrassing night for America. We've let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We've let a bully set our course. I'm devastated.
