Another person wrote: "You look absolutely stunning! Thank you for all the good you do, being hysterically funny without even trying, and just being you!"
Per Hollywood Style, McCarthy spoke in an interview with InStyle all about what it's like to live in Australia, as well as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
McCarthy stated: "I am connected to Australia in a way that I didn’t anticipate. I could very easily live here for the rest of my life. I’m in love with it.
"Everyone is so chatty. I’m a Midwestern gal who lives in L.A., where no one wants to talk to you. And here I’ll be in the grocery store, and I can’t go down a single aisle without talking to somebody.
"It’s wonderful. I come home, and I will have had 15 conversations."
She continued: "I think the scariest thing about all of this more so than even COVID is that I truly didn’t think people hated each other that much or hated the idea of people who they don’t even know.
"I always wonder: ‘Do racists know anyone of a different color?' People who are homophobic: ‘Do you know anyone gay or bi or trans? Do you know these people, or is it the great unknown?
"I want to get mad, and I do get incredulous about how insane it is. But who’s going to help people? If you’ve lost any sense of reality. We can’t get mad. People aren’t just wrong. They need help."
