The intense rainstorm hit the area with more than 20 inches of rain and strong winds that caused the displacement of bone and blocked roads that hampered the evacuation of the civilian population from around the town of Santa Barbara.
Authorities in 17 different counties in California have declared a state of emergency and fear of flooding and mudslides.
The city of Montecito is home to a cultured family of the rich and famous including the home of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.
In 2018, a series of mudslides took place in the area, causing the death of 20 people and extensive destruction throughout the district.
