After President Barack Obama said he will actively try to normalize relations between Cuba and the United States, many people spoke up about what this means for the two countries who have had frosty relations since the 1960s.

Several celebrities, especially those of Cuban descent, have shared their opinions on Obama's announcement.

William Levy recalled living in Cuba on an Instagram post.

"Hanging out with my cuz!!!!! Remembering all the crazy stuff we used to do when we were back in Cuba.#familytime," he said.

Puerto Rican Ricky Martin tried to tell people to watch what was happening.

"This you have to see," he said via Twitter about Obama delivering his statement on Cuba.

Half Cuban actress Odette Annable also spoke out about the news.

"I personally am elated about the new #CubaPolicy... thoughts?" she said via Twitter.

The tweet by the actress, whose mother is Cuban, was met with both criticism and support. Some said that this change was "long overdue," but others said that Obama's move was just the United States supporting communism.

Daisy Fuentes, however, doesn't think this move is enough to help Cubans.

"Hoping #cuba news is the beginning of change. No reason to celebrate until Cuban people are free. Let's work to restore their human rights," she said in her first tweet.

About a half hour later, Fuentes had more to say on the topic.

"Formalizing relations w a torture regime means nothing if it can't help the people of #Cuba #freedom is a basic human right," she added.

Meanwhile, Faizon Love shared old pictures of Fidel Castro.

"Don't get it twisted Castro been down with Black America..." he said via Twitter.

Former "Parks & Recreation" star Natalie Morales had a lot to say about the topic, and none of it was positive.

"Serious: my worst nightmare is that Cuba will be Cabo. People really don't understand what's really going on down there," she said via Twitter.

Morales then added that Michael Moore's 2007 documentary "Sicko," which focuses on Health care, was damaging. She said that all those "great hospitals" in Cuba that were featured in the movie were "ONLY for the communist party."

"There is a reason the people who fled from there, who still have family there, are opposed to open relations. It's still SUUUUPER communist," Morales said in another tweet.

Venezuela-born Alicia Machado if for the renewed Cuba-U.S. relations.

"To my Cuban brothers to my grandparents and those who are there, God bless us. This is very big! @BarackObama @Tv_pedromoreno," she said via Twitter.

In a separate tweet, Machado also thanked Pope Francis.
