The surveillance footage shows the moment just after 2:30 p.m. when a brown bear and two cubs walked along a brick wall in the teen’s backyard in Bradbury. Three of the family’s dogs started barking at them. At the time, the family was gardening at another end of the yard when they heard the barking. Videos shows the bear swat at the dogs a few times before the teen runs up.
Video shows her shove the bear, causing the animal to fall backward and off the wall.
The teen suffered a sprained finger and scraped her knee, but she and her mother are thankful those are her only injuries. Hailey said she ran from the wild bear as quickly as she could.
The family said this isn’t the first time seeing a bear or other wild animals around their home in Bradbury since moving there in February. Morinico said bears are usually spotted in the neighborhood around two to three times a week.
But this is the first time any of them have gotten so close to the wildlife, they said. And it may be the last — both Hailey and her mother suggested no one do what she did.

I beleive it was a brown phase black bear The species "brown bear" doesn't exist in California. If it had been a brown bear, she probably wouldn't be alive.

No, it was just stupid.
Brave if it were her children instead of her dogs, but that’s not what happened.

Wow, the video shows it was actually a momma bear with cubs in tow. The largest of the three family dogs started engaging the bear which is taking swipes with its paws as the other two dogs go frantic. The kid was brave and lucky to not get swiped with a paw or bit by the bear. Looks like the kid was operating on pure instinct to protect her dogs.
