"You are fierce and fabulous!" wrote Caitlyn. "Your support means the world. Thank you for all you do for the community."

Cox has made several statements in support of Jenner, who came out as a woman last month by posing for Vanity Fair and who used Cox’s saying of "#TransIsBeautiful" as a caption for a recent photo.

Following Jenner’s interview with Diane Sawyer on April 24, Cox commended Jenner’s courage, saying, "It is always brave to stand in one’s truth."

From there, after Caitlyn made her debut on Vanity Fair, Cox released a state that read in part:

"I am so moved by all the love and support Caitlyn is receiving.

"It feels like a new day, indeed, when a trans person can present her authentic self to the world for the first time and be celebrated for it so universally."

Amen.
