Pawn Stars cast member Corey Harrison, known to fans as “Big Hoss,” launched a GoFundMe campaign after being injured in a motorcycle accident. The fundraiser quickly attracted attention, but his father, Rick Harrison, later said he personally paid for his son’s medical bills.
According to public statements, Corey was involved in a motorcycle crash that required hospital treatment. Following the accident, a GoFundMe page was set up to help support him during his recovery. Fans of the long-running History Channel series shared the campaign widely, offering donations and messages of support.
Rick Harrison explains the situation
After questions surfaced online, Rick Harrison addressed the fundraiser directly. He said that Corey’s hospital and medical expenses had already been covered by the family. Rick explained that he paid those bills himself and that there was no need for public donations to handle hospital costs.
Rick also clarified that the GoFundMe was not created to pay medical bills. Instead, he said the money was intended to help with other expenses related to recovery, such as time away from work and ongoing care that may not be covered by insurance.
Online reaction and clarification
The situation led to confusion among some fans, with a number of people asking why a fundraiser was active if the medical bills were already paid. Rick Harrison said there was no intention to mislead anyone and that the family understood why people had questions.
Corey Harrison has not contradicted his father’s statements. In his own comments, Corey focused on thanking supporters for their concern and kind messages. He acknowledged that the accident was serious and said recovery would take time.
Recovery process continues
Details about the exact cause of the crash have not been widely shared. What is known is that Corey required hospital care and is now continuing his recovery. He has indicated that the process includes rest and follow-up treatment, and that he will be away from normal activities while he heals.
Corey has appeared on Pawn Stars for many years and is one of the show’s most recognizable figures. News of the accident drew attention from longtime viewers who have followed his personal and professional life on television.
Focus on health, not controversy
While discussion around the GoFundMe continued online, the Harrison family emphasized that their main concern is Corey’s health. They encouraged fans to focus on his recovery rather than the debate around the fundraiser.
For now, Corey Harrison remains on the mend, supported by his family and fans as he works toward a full recovery.
