SARA Burack, the star of Netflix's Million Dollar Beach House, has been killed in a hit-and-run in the Hamptons.
The 40-year-old was found unconscious by police with a manhunt quickly being launched to track down the motorist who struck and killed her.
Cops discovered an unresponsive Burack on a Hampton Bays road shortly before 3pm on Thursday afternoon, police say.
Both a New York State Police Accident Reconstruction Unit and detectives from the Southampton Town Police Department investigated the scene, reports Dan's Papers.
According to the news outlet, police have not spoken to witnesses yet nor do they have any information about what type of car struck Burack and left her to die in the street.
Burack had worked as a real estate agent for Nest Seekers International, an agency dealing in upscale properties in Manhattan and the Hamptons, according to Newsday.
She left the agency more than a year ago but stayed in touch with the firm, Geoff Gifkins, the Hamptons regional manager for Nest Seekers, told Newsday.
Gifkins said in a message: "Our thoughts and prayers are with family and friends.
"Please be kind and respectful as this is a tremendous loss to her parents and close friends."
A close family friend and real estate agent Paulette Corsair told Newsday that her pal would be remembered for her generous spirit and for fundraising in New York City.
Corsair told Newsday: "I want people to remember she was an amazing person who really cared for people.
"She was a hardworking real estate agent who was there for others. She was loved greatly by her friends and a close family."
Burack had previously said her family ran a commercial construction and material sales business that she spent years working for before moving into the luxury real estate market.
"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 Hamptons.com.
Burack was a household name for fans of Netflix reality show Million Dollar House which saw real estate agents pitted against one another.
"The competition is fierce – and the drama undeniable – as a group of young and hungry agents try to seal the deal on luxury listings in the Hamptons," according to the description of the show on Netflix's website.
Burack had described Millions Dollar Beach House as glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of the rich and aspiring.
"Viewers will be taken into the world of the Hamptons where they will see not only beautiful multimillion-dollar beach homes and estates, but will be shown summer in the Hamptons," she told Hamptons.com. "With scenes from broker open houses, polo games, yacht life and more, there is sure to be an awww from viewers!"
