Rescue teams are continuing to search for survivors in southern California after a series of mudslides killed 17 people and swept away more than 100 homes.
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.
