Oprah Winfrey says she was "relieved - and emotional" at news of Derek Chauvin's guilty verdict Tuesday.

"I cried tears of joy as each verdict was read," the media mogul said online. She was one of many celebrities weighing in on the historic verdict convicted on three counts in last year's death of George Floyd.

"Captain America" star Chris Evans tweeted simply: "Justice. Sending love to George Floyd's family and friends."

Kerry Washington said it was a moment to pause and reflect but not to stop political activism.

"We have a lot of work to do. There is more fight ahead of us," she tweeted.
