Paris Hilton, Cher and other celebrities took to social media on Thursday where they reacted to Britney Spears' father, Jamie, announcing his plans to step down from his role in the singer's conservatorship once a proper plan is in place.

The two have been locked in a court battle over the past few years as the pop star works to regain control of her life.

"I’m so happy to hear this news," Hilton wrote along with heart emojis and a princess emoji.

"It’s been so long overdue but I’m so glad that Britney is on her way to finally being free. Sending so much love!"

Fans also reacted to the news on Twitter.

"I am so happy for @britneyspears #FreeBritney," wrote one fan. "I’m so happy for Britney Spears!" said another.

Last month, Spears ended one of her Instagram posts with "#FreeBritney," a social media campaign that has garnered popularity over the last several years as fans and industry figures have used it to demand the singer be released from her conservatorship, which has seen Jamie oversee her life, finances and wellbeing for well over a decade.
