Narrative:

I was flying three passengers on a nice VFR day. We were southbound at 9500 approaching bfl when all three of my passengers noticed and brought to my attention a black-and-red color drone which passed right underneath us; traveling opposite direction; off our right wing; about 100 below. I was scanning the flight instruments at that moment and did not see the drone. We were cruising at approx 175 ktas; and no evasive action was taken. I questioned my passengers to make sure it was not a military uav or a manned aircraft because I was very surprised to see a recreational drone at 9400 MSL; and all three of my passengers were absolutely positive; and described it as a medium size black-and-red drone. I immediately reported the near miss to TRACON and we continued on uneventfully. I'm very concerned about seeing a recreational drone at such high altitude where myself and others are routinely flying at high speeds; and have little to no chance to see a small flying object and avoid a collision with it.

Narrative: I was flying three passengers on a nice VFR day.
