MUDSLIDES DAMAGE OPRAH WINFREY’S CALIFORNIA ESTATE

Oprah Winfrey’s Montecito estate is one of those affected by the deadly mudslides in Santa Barbara, California. The 63-year-old media mogul and actress took to Instagram on Tuesday to reveal the damage caused to her 65-acre property by the heavy rains which have led to flash floods and mudslides. Footage Oprah shared on the site included flames that were burning due to a nearby gas leak, while another video showed the star walking through her backyard with wellington boots on. “This is how deep the mud is,” she said, as helicopter rotor blades could be heard in the background. Oprah didn’t go into detail about just what damage has been caused to her estate, which she purchased in 2001. The property was expanded from 42 acres to 65 in 2016, and includes a tea house and formal rose garden. WENN
