Try this http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/getting-started/database-first-development/publish-to-azure and let us know if you need more help. You will just need Visual Studio 2013.

Some people said I can't use local db there is it true?

Yes, localdb is one of the execution modes in SQL Express and comes with default MVC template on VS 2013, this is a file based storage so works only with local machines mostly used while development and testing. This should be appropriately replaced with SQL Database or any other SQL connections during deployment. This is taken care by the publish engine on VS if configured properly. But this would only generate a warning message not an error as far as I know. In any such case output pane will have details.

I have to create database on azure and then setup connection of that database to my website?

You can't use localdb with Azure Websites.
That said, you can use localdb for development, but change the connection string on deployment to use some other database, such as SQL Azure (see http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2013/07/17/windows-azure-web-sites-how-application-strings-and-connection-strings-work/)
