Katharine McPhee, David Foster Tragedy Revealed

According to a TMZ report, the "horrible" tragedy that took place in the McPhee-Foster household last week apparently involved their nanny.

The nanny, named Yadira Calito, died last week in an incident at a Toyota San Fernando Valley car dealership when a car crashed into the shop's reception area.

Per law enforcement sources, the accident took place on Aug. 9, 2023, Wednesday, when an 84-year-old lady's Toyota RAV4 crashed the dealership store in the area.

Apparently, the nanny was buried under the vehicle and was even dragged 20 feet before being freed from the debris.

Although she was rushed to the emergency room in critical condition, she was later on pronounced as dead.

Authorities reported that instead of the brake, the driver hit the accelerator instead. Some were also injured in the crash, Page Six reports, but they are in recovery.

According to the outlet, the driver was not arrested.

In a statement shared on Instagram, McPhee had this to say:

"Dearest Jakarta fans, it's with heavy heart I announce I have to miss our final two shows of our Asia run. David and I have had a horrible tragedy in our family and at least one of us need to get back home to our family," she said. "Please know how sorry I am and how much I wish to return one day and perform for you all. Love Katharine."

At the time, details on who it was or what the tragedy was about were kept under sheets as it was not yet revealed to the public.

As of this writing, neither McPhee nor Foster has issued any statements following the death of their nanny.

Foster has since taken the stage alone as McPhee needed to fly to the United States to attend to the said family emergency.
