Oprah Winfrey's private jet was forced to return to the city airport in Santa Barbara, Calif., after its windshield was cracked in a collision with a bird, officials said.
Winfrey and her boyfriend, Stedman Graham, were not hurt in the incident, which occurred around 12:30 p.m. Monday just after the Gulfstream jet had taken off from Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, said Santa Barbara Fire Department spokesman John Ahlman.
The plane will remain grounded until its windshield can be repaired, Ahlman said.
