On X (formerly Twitter), rapper and actor Ice T joked that the earthquake was actually just caused by his and wife Coco's intimate morning activities.

"My fault," he quipped.

Not quite a celebrity, but no less famous than one, the official account for the Empire State Building simply tweeted, "I AM FINE."
