Sara Burack, star of Netflix's 'Million Dollar Beach House,' killed in apparent Hamptons hit-and-run
Sara Burack, who starred in the Netflix series "Million Dollar Beach House," was killed in an apparent hit-and-run on Thursday, police said. She was 40. Southhampton Town Police said in a press release that they received a 911 call in the early hours of Thursday morning about a woman lying on Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays, a hamlet on Long Island in New York. Police said they found the woman, who was later identified as Burack, "unconscious with serious injuries from apparently being struck by a vehicle that fled the scene." Burack was then transported to Stony Brook University Hospital where she was later pronounced dead, according to police. Police added that they've launched a manhunt for a driver in the suspected hit-and-run, who remains at large as of Friday afternoon. The New York City-based luxury realtor worked for luxury real estate firm Nest Seekers International for more than a decade, according to her LinkedIn profile. The company did not immediately return a request for comment. Burack was best known for starring in "Million Dollar Beach House," a reality television series which aired on Netflix for one season in 2020. The show centered on several realtors, including Burack, competing to sell luxury homes throughout the Hamptons. Netflix did not immediately return a request for comment on Burack's death. Ahead of the show's release, Burack told she decided to become a realtor after working for her family's commercial construction business. "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," she told the news site. "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," she added.
