Sumario:Several beyond the Standard Model theoretical models predict the decay of Higgs bosons decaying into heavy long-lived particles. The sensitivity to observe such long-lived particles has been determined using a data sample of e$^+$e$^-$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$3 TeV, simulated with the CLIC_ILD detector model and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 ab$^{-1}$. The analysis identifies secondary vertices which can be associated with the decay of such particles. Decay products are subsequently combined to reconstruct the parent bosons. The sensitivity range covers long-lived particle lifetimes from 1 to 300 ps, masses between 25 and 50 GeV/c$^2$, and a parent Higgs mass of 126 GeV/c$^2$.
