    The authors show that a star-shaped hypersurface of constant mean curvature in the Euclidean sphere \(S^{n+1}\) must be a geodesic sphere. This result extends the one obtained by Jellett in 1853 for such type of surfaces in the Euclidean space \(\mathbb R^3\). In order to do that they compute a useful formula for the Laplacian of a new support function defined over a hypersurface \(M\) of a Riemannian manifold.
