Katharine McPhee luckily dodged a restaurant armed robbery in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Two adults were reportedly robbed at gunpoint with a semiautomatic firearm at a West Hollywood restaurant called Craig’s -- a celebrity-frequented dining establishment. 

A clip of the incident was shared on Instagram, to which McPhee responded, "Omg missed this by probably a few hours."

The thieves demanded jewelry and a watch from one of the victims, according to KTLA 5. Deputies are currently searching for three male suspects. 

Representatives for McPhee did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

McPhee and her husband, David Foster, often dine at the West Hollywood hotspot. Other celebrities, including Nicole Scherzinger, the Kardashians and James Corden, have been previously spotted dining at the celebrity-packed restaurant.

"Then we became friends. So I’m very accustomed to being on stage with him, sharing a stage with him, being in the recording studio with him. That was first before anything. That’s where we’re the most comfortable together. It doesn’t create any friction between us at all. There’s no kind of unknown between us. That’s where it all started for us."
