A Virginia woman was brought before the court on Saturday due to her involvement in a hit-and-run incident in the Hamptons, which resulted in the death of Sara Burack, a New York City-based luxury real estate agent and former Netflix personality.
According to a statement from Southampton Town Police on Friday, Amanda Kempton, 32, from Virginia, was arrested and charged with fleeing the scene of a motor vehicle accident that resulted in a fatality.
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 had been employed by luxury real estate firm Nest Seekers International for over ten years, as mentioned on her LinkedIn profile. The company has not provided a comment in response to requests.
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.
