Netflix's ‘Million Dollar Beach House' star killed in Hamptons hit-and-run
Reality star and luxury real estate agent Sara Burack is dead after a hit-and-run, Southampton Town Police Department confirmed with Fox News Digital. She was 40.
Burack, best known for her appearances on Netflix's "Million Dollar Beach House" and "Selling the Hamptons," was struck along Montauk Highway near the Villa Paul Restaurant, located at 162 W Montauk Hwy, on June 19, authorities confirmed. Burack was found unconscious and was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital.
Police are still searching for the driver involved.
A realtor from NestSeekers International, who is a close family friend, shared with Fox News Digital that she was with Burack's mother and sister at the hospital before her tragic death.
Burack went into cardiac arrest at the scene, but was revived and was put on life support, according to the friend. She suffered extensive brain injuries, a fractured skull and various brain bleeds.
"She was just a great person… a hard worker. Real estate was her life for so many years," she shared with Fox News Digital. The two worked together at NestSeekers International before Burack's sudden death.
When Burack wasn't involved in real estate projects, Fox News Digital's source said that her dear friend enjoyed raising money for philanthropy and charity events. Burack co-chaired galas and black-tie events in New York City while raising money for several causes and foundations.
"A lot of people loved her and knew her. She's such a good person and would help anyone," the source concluded.
In 2020, the real estate expert shared her career experience with Hamptons.com.
"My family has a commercial construction material sales business that I spent many years of my life working for," Burack said at the time. "I have always been intrigued by real estate projects and decided to become a broker after my experience as a summer property manager in the summer house I would rent."
Burack added, "I have been spending half the year in the Hamptons for the past 11 years. It was only natural to turn my love for real estate into a blossoming career."
"Million Dollar Beach House" aired on Netflix in 2020 for one season and "Selling the Hamptons" aired on HBO Max in 2022.

Bill Belichick-Jordon Hudson drama revealed in new emails
Emails obtained by WRAL show Bill Belichick addressing the controversy over his romantic and professional relationship with Jordon Hudson. The relationship between the legendary coach and the 24-year-old model has drawn national scrutiny after a controversial "CBS Sunday Morning" interview. Hudson declared, "We're not talking about that" when Belichick was asked about how the couple met. Belichick claimed in one email that CBS "secretly" had a camera focused on Hudson despite the model requesting to sit off camera. "Secretly, CBS had a camera focused on Jordon where Lead producer Gabe instructed her to sit," Belichick reportedly wrote. Belichick elaborated on why the question of how they met was not answered. "I met Jordon randomly on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021. That is no secret. Jordon was not dodging the specific question regarding how we met, but rather was preventing the interview from continuing to probe into personal matters," the email said. Belichick also addressed why Hudson was present at the interview to begin with. He believed the interview would be focused on his book, "The Art of Winning: Lessons from a Life in Football." "Jordon was present at the CBS interview because David Kass, the Simon & Schuster publicist, was not there," Belichick wrote, referring to the publisher of his book. "I included Jordon in the book acknowledgments because she was a creative contributor to the book, including having the idea for formatting the 4 special pages in the book." In another email, Belichick addressed reports that he requested to have Hudson copied on every email sent to him. "Jordon and I have both a personal & professional relationship," Belchick wrote in the email. "This is not a secret. Jordon assists me with my personal media, which is why I asked UNC to forward media requests (E.G. CBS 60 Minutes) to her. Jordon has zero involvement in the UNC football program, beyond the degree that my personal media intersects with it." Belichick released a statement saying he was "surprised" about getting the questions about his relationship and that when Hudson had stepped in, she was doing her job. He went on to accuse CBS of creating a "false narrative" with so-called "selectively edited clips." CBS responded, disagreeing with Belichick's version of events. In a separate interview with ESPN, Belichick insisted Hudson is not involved with UNC football. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Seth Rogen Explains Why His ‘Gigli' Audition Tape Would 'End My Career' If It Leaked
More than 20 years after the movie that launched Bennifer, Seth Rogen recently recalled his audition for 2003's Gigli. The 3x Golden Globe nominee explained that he was 'an aspiring young actor' when he auditioned for the role of mentally challenged hostage Brian, who was ultimately portrayed by Justin Bartha in the Ben Affleck/Jennifer Lopez romantic comedy crime flick. More from Deadline Seth Rogen Scrapped 'The Studio' Episode After Celeb Cameo Fell Through Seth Rogen's Joke About Donald Trump At Breakthrough Prize Cut Out Of Awards Show Following Livestream 'The Studio's Seth Rogen And Co-Creator Evan Goldberg On The "Miracle" Of Casting Scorsese And What Ron Howard Said About His Role 'It has been a long time,' he said on Jimmy Kimmel Live of the last time he auditioned. 'And thank god it was mostly physical VHS tapes and stuff like that that was being used when I was auditioning for things, because the things I auditioned for, in retrospect, if they were out there in the world, they would end my career very, very fast, I believe.' Rogen recalled Gigli as an example. 'I auditioned for this boy with a cognitive disability. And I don't think the script was written in what, by today's standards, would be the most sensitive portrayal of a boy with a cognitive disability,' he noted. Explaining that he was eager to work with the film's 'great director' Martin Brest, Rogen said, 'I wanted to leave an impression.' 'I don't think I wore a helmet in to the audition itself, but it was at play,' he said with a laugh. 'And I'm tempted to do an impression of what I did, but I can't even do it. I can't. That's how bad it was. It's so bad. I dare not even portray what I did in this audition. Because I went for it. I saw myself at the Oscars.' Rogen added, 'Truthfully, if that tape was out [in] the world today, this would be the last interview you ever saw me do. Other than, like, my apology tour. Please, if you have it, burn it. Please sell it to me. I will buy it.' The Studio star definitely dodged a bullet, as the movie barely surpassed $7 million globally, currently holding a 6% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes.
