According to Greg Lee, a reporter for local ABC 7, the aircraft was a Cessna 414A that had just left the Fullerton Municipal Airport:
#YorbaLinda plane crash: FAA says aircraft is a Cessna 414A. Had just departed from #FULLERTON airport. Unknown how many people were onboard. Also unknown if or how many injuries on the ground. @ABC7

Lee also reports the aircraft was on fire “BEFORE” it crashed:
Getting lots of calls and texts from friends in the area who say they saw the plane on fire BEFORE it even hit the home. Terrible scene.
