In addition to dealing with the mudslides in her Montecito neighborhood this week, Ellen has been mourning the loss of her father, Elliott Everett DeGeneres. Ellen noted on her talk show that when she was young, her dad took her on a trip to Los Angeles, where they got to tour the Warner Bros. studio lot in Burbank that her talk show now calls home. Ellen said that 10 minutes after she last spoke to her dad, he died and when she walked outside there was a rainbow over her studio.
