HOLLYWOOD - TV titan Oprah Winfrey's private jet was forced to return to Santa Barbara airport in California on Monday after colliding with a bird.
After spending Christmas in her 42-acre seaside estate in nearby Montecito, the media billionaire and long-term love Stedman Graham boarded her Gulfstream jet to fly to the east coast.
Shortly after taking off, a bird struck the windscreen, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing at 12.30pm local time.
Santa Barbara Fire Department spokesman John Ahlman says, "This is not a totally unusual thing. We see these things pretty frequently."
