Donatella Versace and H from Steps lead stars celebrating Britney Spears' freedom

Donatella Versace, Ian 'H' Watkins and other stars have rallied their support behind Britney Spears after she was freed from her conservatorship.

The Toxic singer was under the tight control of her father Jamie Spears and co-conservators since 2008.

On Friday, Judge Brenda Penny ruled the conservatorship should come to an end after Britney's lawyer Mathew Rosengart asked the judge to end the conservatorship without a medical evaluation.

And now, celebrities have been celebrating Britney's freedom on social media after hearing the exciting news.

Fashion designer Donatella shared a throwback photo of the two sitting at a table and posing for the camera.

"Freedom is a human right," she wrote. "My heart is smiling for you, Britney.

"So glad Britney is free so she can be in the zeitgeist again and be loved so in a year y’all can try and cancel her for old tweets," comedian Whitney Cummings added.

Steps singer Ian tweeted: "BRITNEY SPEARS… WE LOVE YOU!! #FreeBritney @britneyspears."

On Friday, Judge Brenda Penny ruled the conservatorship should come to an end after Britney's lawyer Mathew Rosengart asked the judge to end the conservatorship without a medical evaluation.

Judge Brenda terminated the conservatorship without requiring any further mental evaluation and told the court: "The conservatorship of the person and the estate of Britney Jean Spears is hereby terminated.”

The hitmaker is now able to make her own medical, financial and personal decisions for the first time since 2008.

Fans gathered outside the Los Angeles courtroom on Friday to show their support for the singer, and celebrated as the judge ended the conservatorship that has placed severe restrictions on Britney’s life.

They blocked off the street in front of the courthouse as they staged a demonstration before the hearing, and kicked off a ‘Freedom Party’ after the news broke of the judge’s decision.
