Run-off from heavy rain caused devastation in Santa Barbara County, with officials saying mud was waist-deep in some areas.

In the upmarket neighbourhood of Montecito, some homes were swept from their foundations.

The area is home to a number of celebrities, including actor Rob Lowe, chat show host Ellen DeGeneres and TV personality and actor Oprah Winfrey.

Parts of the major north-south highway Route 101 were closed in both directions and not expected to reopen until next week.
