The 'Girls' creator was among a number of stars - including Brian Cranston and Chelsea Handler - who claimed they would be leaving the US if the former 'Apprentice' star was voted in as president, but she has now insisted she will be staying in America and doing her best to "fight and live" and do "what's right".

Lena also admitted she has received a number of hostile messages since the election.

She wrote on Instagram: "Today I received a letter (yes, on paper) that read 'don't let the door hit you on the ass when you cross the border into Canada.'

"This is actually one of the more polite notes I've gotten recently, and I'll survive it just fine.

"And you know what else I've realized I can survive, as a Jewish pro-choice sexual assault survivor with a queer family member and a belief that we are all exactly & beautifully equal?

"I can survive staying in this country, MY country, to fight and live and use my embarrassment of blessings to do what's right."

Lena admitted it is "hard" to live amongst injustice but urged her fans to follow her lead and "try".

She added: "It's easy to joke about moving to Canada. It's harder to see, and to love, the people who fill your mailbox with hate. It's harder to see what needs to be done and do it. It's harder to live, fully and painfully aware of the injustice surrounding us, to cherish and fear your country all at once. But I'm willing to try. Will you try with me?"
