Updated 5:24 AM PDT, Mon, Nov 24, 2008

A 17-year-old Beaumont , Calif., girl was crowned Miss California Teen USA Sunday night in Palm Springs.

Chelsea Gilligan, who is a senior at a private Christian school, was already Miss Beaumont Teen USA.

The Miss California USA and Miss California Teen USA pageants were held over three days at the Riviera Hotel.

"We are thrilled with Chelsea as our Miss California Teen USA," said pageant director Shanna Moakler. "I believe in my heart we can have the first Miss Teen USA from California with Chelsea."

Chelsea competed in the pageant for the first time last year and was first runner-up.

"I have to give thanks to God for this honor, and I want to go to Disneyland to celebrate my win and Christmas," she said.

She also said she looks forward to competing this summer in the Miss Teen USA Pageant, produced by Donald Trump.
