A slew of celebrities came out in support of actress Leslie Jones, who recently fell victim to a horrifying and hate-filled hacking scandal on Wednesday.

For the second time in just more than a month, the Ghostbusters star was attacked online, with her personal website allegedly being hacked and now down.

It is reported that hackers snagged Leslie's personal information, including her passport and driver's licence, before publishing it on her official website, JustLeslie.com, along with explicit nude images that allegedly originated for her iCloud account.

With the photos and other info now removed, a web hosting company's holding page has replaced that site. Also, on her Twitter page, a previous link to the site is gone.

Shortly after the incident, celebrities including Katy Perry, Ellen DeGeneres and Octavia Spencer voiced their indignation on social media, labelling the attack as "troubling."
