The referendum results are in: Britain has voted to leave the European Union. With a majority of the votes counted, multiple U.K. media outlets report a 52 to 48 percent decision to exit. Over 33 million eligible voters turned out for the history-making vote that the British had nicknamed "Brexit." During the voting hours, the pound hit its lowest level since 1985 as traders reacted to the "leave" victory. The exit process could take a minimum of two years, according to BBC News. And following the release of early poll numbers several celebrities, both U.S. and Britons, reacted to the news on social media.
