This article originally appeared on EW.com.

After Leslie Jones’ website was apparently hacked to show explicit photos and personal information, her colleagues and fellow celebrities took to Twitter to send her messages of love and support.

On Wednesday, hackers posted explicit pictures that appeared to be of Jones to her personal site, JustLeslie.com, as well as photos of her passport and driver’s license. Jones’ site has since been deactivated.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters and Saturday Night Live star has been targeted by online trolls, and earlier this summer, she endured a flood of hateful tweets that sparked criticism of Twitter’s abuse monitoring system.

Jones has been an outspoken critic of online harrassment in the past. Her reps have not responded to EW’s request for comment.

Since the hack, stars and fans alike have tweeted their messages of support for Jones, including Ghostbusters director Paul Feig. Previously, he led the Twitter campaign #LoveforLeslieJ to help drown out the abusive tweets she was receiving.

What's happening to @Lesdoggg is an absolute outrage. Alt right, haters, trolls, "comedians," whoever the fuck you all are, you're just sad.

I truly don't know why people are so hateful towards @Lesdoggg. Why? She's talented and wonderful. Why are people so pressed to be awful?

— Gabby Sidibe (@GabbySidibe) August 24, 2016

Do me a favor? Please don't share or view the Leslie Jones personal info/photos. Support Leslie by not supporting the assholes that did this

— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) August 24, 2016

This @Lesdoggg attack is troubling. The rampant racism percolating in society right now is shameful and sad. She made a movie, that's it!

May many (more) bad things befall the cowards who've attacked my friend, @Lesdoggg. They are the worst of humanity, where she is the best.

— Taran Killam (@TaranKillam) August 24, 2016

Let's turn our anger at trolls into love for Leslie Jones and into strategies to protect all the heroines who don't deserve this bullshit
