Pawn Stars star Rick Harrison has stated that he covered his son Corey Harrison's medical expenses following a serious motorcycle accident in Mexico, prior to the launch of a GoFundMe campaign. The fundraiser, set up by Corey's friend Aron Chambers, claimed the reality TV personality faced over $100,000 in bills after a crash in Tulum in January.
Corey, 42, spent 14 days in hospital with 11 fractured ribs, a punctured lung, a concussion, and internal bleeding. However, Rick told Fox News Digital on Saturday: 'I paid all of Corey's medical bills long before he put the GoFundMe out.' He added that Corey is a grown man responsible for his own finances, and while repayment would be welcome, there is no set schedule.
Corey addressed negative comments about the fundraiser on X, stating he had provided TMZ with evidence of his bank account and paid bills. He pledged to donate any GoFundMe proceeds to a children's hospital once he is back on his feet. The campaign has raised $9,000 of its $18,000 goal as of writing.
Corey, who has now left Pawn Stars after not renewing his contract in 2025, said he no longer wishes to play a character on the show. The History Channel series, which follows the Harrison family's pawn shop in Las Vegas, is on indefinite hiatus after its 23rd season.
