Now we know to whom Oprah was referring on video when she pointed to a neighbor's home that was decimated by the mudslides ... it was the home of actor Jeff Bridges.
The star of "The Big Lebowski" bought the home 3 years ago for $6.8 million. We're told the house could be a total loss, but it's impossible to know at this point because the debris makes the extent of damage almost impossible to assess. Bridges says at the very least, the 3,300 square foot home was "severely damaged."
Oprah trudged through the mud the day after the slides hit and pointed out the home, but never said who owned it.
The slides have killed at least 17 people and 8 are still missing. A hundred homes were destroyed.
Jeff owned another home in Montecito but sold it for $16 million less than a year ago.

Watch the announcement below:
Media Mogul Oprah Winfrey, during the commencement address at Agnes Scott College over the weekend, shared some words of wisdom for the graduates.
“You’re nothing if you’re not the truth. I’ve made a living, I’ve made a life – I’ve made a fortune, really – all good! – from being true to myself,” she told the crowd.
“If I can leave you with any message today: The biggest reward is not financial benefits, though it’s really good, you can get a lot of great shoes! Those of you who have a lot of shoes know having a closet full of shoes doesn’t fill up your life. Living a life of substance can. Substance through your service.
I want you to work in your own way to change the world in respectful conversations with others.
I want you to enter every situation aware of its context, open to hear the truth of others and most important, open to letting the process of changing the world change you. That is the spirit of constructive engagement.
You will get nowhere without a spiritual practice. That’s not necessarily religion. Maybe it’s music, or dancing or just time for yourself to feed and nurture your own spirit.
I had to learn to feel with others, which is what it means to be compassionate. I feel with you. It means not only am I able to walk in your shoes, my heart beats with yours. I see myself in you,” Oprah said.
