Entertainment Weekly

““Today, I need you because there’s a lot going on in my life right now,” an emotional Ellen DeGeneres said while discussing the mudslides that have left 17 people dead following heavy rains earlier this week in Santa Barbara County. “I love this community,” she added. “If you’ve never been there, Montecito is a small town. It’s less than 10,000 people, it has 2 public schools, family-owned businesses. It’s a tight-knit community so everyone kind of knows everyone. I work in L.A., but I consider Montecito my home. I live there, Oprah lives there.”
