Todd and Julie Chrisley's daughter Savannah Chrisley has reacted to news that President Donald Trump has decided to pardon her reality TV star parents.
Todd and Julie, who starred in the television show 'Chrisley Knows Best' and several spin-offs, were found guilty of defrauding banks out of $30 million in 2022.
Julie Chrisley is serving time in Kentucky, while Todd Chrisley is serving time in Florida.
President Trump personally called Savannah — who has become a fixture in the MAGA world amid her fight for her parents' release — to inform her of his decision on Tuesday.
A visibly emotional Savannah, 27, took to Instagram hours later to confirm that Trump did speak to her and that her parents could freed as early as 'tonight or tomorrow.'
'I have shed so many tears,' said Savannah, who donned a white Make America Great Again hat for the video.

'The President called me personally as I was walking into Sam's Club and notified me that he was signing pardon paperwork for both of my parents.
'So, both my parents are coming home tonight or tomorrow,' she revealed.
Savannah admitted that she was still in disbelief that Trump called her and that her and her family are 'freaking out' over the news.
'I will forever be grateful for President Trump, his administration and everyone along the way,' she gushed.
Savannah also thanked her lawyers and the 'people who put in countless hours and effort and love for my family to make sure my parents got home.'
She said that the family is in a mad dash to prepare for Todd and Julie's return home.
'We're putting clothes together for mom and dad, getting their room put together upstairs,' she explained.
Savannah has been left 'speechless' and said she is overcome with gratitude.
'I can't think you guys enough for sticking with my family along the way, for loving us [and] supporting us.'
She continued: 'To all of the political figures I have come in contact with over the past two and a half years that believed in me and believed in my family: Thank you.'
Savannah got visibly choked up, admitting again that it still 'doesn't feel real' that her parents will soon be free.
'I'm freaking out. I am going to go prepare to pick up my parents and I just can't thank you guys enough. They're coming home. My parents get to start their lives over.
'President Trump didn't just commute their sentences, he gave them a full, unconditional pardon. So for that I am forever grateful. Thank you, President Trump.'
Savannah then vowed to 'stand next to [Trump] and [his] administration and to stand up to the corruption and to continue fighting for the men and women that are in prison.
'I will repay your kindness to every person that I meet, so thank God for a president like Donald J. Trump,' she said.
'Thank God for a president that wants to restore families and who loves people and who loves people well and who took the time to call me from the Oval Office to let me know that my parents are getting their lives back. So, Thank you.'
Savannah concluded her video by repeating that she needs to get the house and herself 'ready' to pick up her parents from prison.
'I'm probably going to wear my pink MAGA hat to pick them up,' she quipped before exclaiming: 'It's time to go get mom and dad!'
Savannah's older brother Chase Chrisley also reacted to their parents' pardon on Instagram.
The 28-year-old posted a selfie of him and Grayson Chrisley, 19, wearing MAGA hats with the caption: 'Thank you Mr. President!! @realdonaldtrump'
Grayson also used Instagram to share his thoughts on Trump's pardon as he praised the president for '[keeping] his word.'
'PRAISE GOD!!!! Thank you Mr. President for bringing my family back @realdonaldtrump,' penned Grayson, who reshared Trump's video of his phone call with Savannah.
White House aide Margo Martin revealed the pardon by posting video of the president on the phone with Savannah, captioning the post: 'Trump Knows Best!' a play on the couple's breakout reality TV show title.
While pushing for a pardon, Savannah has become a fixture in MAGAworld.
She attended the 2024 Republican National Convention and the 2024 Conservative Political Action Conference - both events where Trump was the headliner and aides and allies were everywhere.
She appeared on the sidelines of last month's White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The effort paid off when Savannah received a call Tuesday from the Oval Office.
'That's a terrible thing, that's a terrible thing,' the president told Savannah. 'But it's a great thing because your parents are going to be free and clean and I hope we can do it by tomorrow, is that OK?'
Julie was supposed to serve time at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky until January 2028.

Todd's prison sentence kept him locked away at FPC Pensacola until April 2032, according to the Palm Beach Post.
'I don't know them, but them give my regards,' Trump also said. 'Wish them a good life.'
Savannah can be heard on the phone thanking the president and telling him her brother Grayson was on the line too.
Grayson, a student at the University of Alabama, piped up, 'Mr. President, I just want to say thank you for bringing my parents back.'
'Yeah, well, they were given a pretty harsh treatment from what I'm hearing,' Trump said.
Savannah did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail's request for comment.
Trump had nothing on his public schedule for Tuesday.
He's used his pardon power recently.
On Monday, Trump pardoned a former Virginia sheriff who was to serve time for a cash-for-badges scheme.
The sheriff, Scott Jenkins, had been a Trump supporter, visiting the White House during the president's first term and was utilized as a surrogate in Virginia on the campaign trail.
'This Sheriff is a victim of an overzealous Biden Department of Justice, and doesn't deserve to spend a single day in jail,' Trump posted to Truth Social Monday afternoon.
Late last month, Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, who pointed out that his mother had raised millions for the Trump campaigns on his pardon application.
Walczak pleaded guilty of tax crimes days before the 2024 election and filed a pardon application shortly after inauguration.
