The youngest victim, Kailly Benitez, is just 3-years-old. She was one of four children confirmed dead.

Sawyer Corey – whose family had made an impassioned plea for help to try to find her on Wednesday – was also confirmed one of the people who died. The 12-year-old was previously reported missing, along with her sister, Morgan Corey, 25. Morgan’s body was found in mud on Saturday, according to ABC News.

The Corey family was sleeping in their Montecito home when mud swept through the area and collapsed their home around them early Tuesday morning.

“It doesn’t even seem real. It’s been a blur,” he said of the tragedy. “[I felt] scared, helpless and pain for those girls. I couldn’t sleep last night, knowing they were still alone.”

ABC News reported Joseph Francis Bleckel, 87, was found dead in his Romero Canyon home four days after the mudslide occurred.

The cause of death for 17 people was listed as “multiple traumatic injuries due to flash flood with mudslides due to recent wildfire,” according to the coroner’s office.

“The only words I can really think of to describe what it looked [like] was it looked like a World War I battlefield,” Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said of the area, which is known for its beautiful homes and celebrity residents. “It was literally a carpet of mud and debris everywhere.”

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office released an active list of three people they believed were still missing, including John “Jack” Cantin, 17, Faviola Benitez Calderon, 28, and Lydia Sutthithepa, 2.
