Hashtags of prayer. Tweets of disbelief. Emotions on Twitter ranged from shock to outrage as celebs rapidly reacted to the news that George Zimmerman, charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin, was found not guilty on Saturday evening.
Here's a look at the stars who shared their thoughts on Twitter:
Ellen Page: "If u really believe racism isnt a massive problem, that the oppression of minorities is not a horrific and systemic issue. U R in denial."
Mia Farrow: "I don't understand this. At ALL"
Steve Harvey: "A Child is Dead & The Man that Killed Him is Free & Again The Child is Black...My Country Tis of Thee?"
Richard Dreyfuss: "It's 2013 and an American jury just acquitted a man who admitted to stalking and killing an unarmed child."
Judy Blume: "Not surprised. But distraught. Saw 'Fruitvale Station' tonight. How ironic to come home to this verdict."
Kate Walsh: "Zimmerman verdict sickens me."
Kat Dennings: "I can't handle this. All that really matters are Trayvon's parents, and making sure nothing like this ever happens again."
Questlove: "this might be in bad taste but in light of this verdict? i really INSIST you people see Fruitvale Station not now but RIGHT NOW"
Alec Baldwin, who recently quit Twitter (again), resurfaced post-verdict: "Florida is a parallel universe. A (expletive) one."
Tom Arnold: "Dear Son, I love you and there is no shame in running away from creepy a-- crackers. #nojustice"
Michael Ian Black: "The only thing that surprised me about the verdict is that juries work on Saturdays."
Donald Trump: "Zimmerman is no angel but the lack of evidence and the concept of self-defense, especially in Florida law, gave the jury little other choice"
Chris Brown: "Bull----!"
Gabrielle Union: "Help! What's the proper procedure when you're followed by a random armed nutbag returning home from getting candy & iced tea?"
Whoopi Goldberg: "My heart is with trayvon martins family tonight, so my focus on them. No one else really matters"
Jaleel White: "I can't ..." wrote the star, adding a sad emoticon.

Russell Simmons: "I know many people are very upset about the verdict, but we must remain peaceful. No matter what, remain peaceful."
Nicki Minaj: "And our taxes paid for that trial. We just paid to see a murderer walk free after killing an innocent unarmed little boy. #GodBlessAmerica"
Sophia Bush: "The wind is more than knocked out of me... My heart aches for this boy's family. Justice System? I don't think so. #justicefortrayvon"
