Virginia woman arrested in connection with Netflix star's fatal hit and run
A Virginia woman was arraigned in court Saturday in connection with a hit and run in the Hamptons that left New York City-based luxury real estate agent and former Netflix star Sara Burack dead. Southampton Town Police said in a statement Friday they arrested Amanda Kempton, 32, of Virginia, and that she was charged with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident in which a fatality occurred. Burack, who starred in the Netflix series 'Million Dollar Beach House,' was killed in the apparent hit and run on Thursday, police said. She was 40. Police confirmed in a phone call that Kempton pleaded not guilty and was released on bail. Her attorney could not immediately be reached for comment. Burack worked for the luxury real estate firm Nest Seekers International for more than a decade, according to her LinkedIn profile. The company has not responded to a request for comment. The 40-year-old agent was best known for starring in the reality television series, which ran for a single season in 2020. 'Million Dollar Beach House' centered on the lives of several real estate agents, including Burack, who competed for listings of opulent homes in the Hamptons. Netflix did not return a request for comment on Burack's death. Police found Burack unresponsive on Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays early Thursday morning after receiving a 911 call about a woman lying unconscious on the busy road. She was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

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.
