R&B star Chris Brown fortunately avoided disaster when a private jet he was on was forced to carry out an emergency landing.

CB had boarded the flight at Burbank airport in California to fly over to New York for the star-studded Met Gala on Monday when a few minutes into the journey the cockpit filled with smoke.

The pilot of the Gulfstream 3 jet was then forced to swiftly turn the aircraft around and perform an emergency landing back in Burbank.

Unfazed by the dramatic events Chris, 24, boarded a second flight within an hour to head to the Big Apple and made it just in time to attend the after-party having missed the main event.

Chris was accompanied at the bash by a mystery brunette who walked the red carpet at his side just days after he revealed he and Rihanna are no longer an item.
