Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner's manager and friend, dies in ATV accident at 29
According to reports, Hutchins was riding an all-terrain vehicle when it collided with another moving vehicle. The impact pushed her off the road, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hutchins rose to public attention in 2015, around the time Jenner came out as a transgender woman. The two met through a mutual hair stylist and quickly formed a deep bond. Hutchins, then a college student who had already begun her own transition, became Jenner's manager and a trusted confidante.
She also served as CEO and executive director of the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation; a nonprofit dedicated to transgender activism. In a 2018 interview with Variety, Hutchins emphasized that Jenner's advocacy work was genuine and not motivated by media attention, 'Caitlyn is not working on these issues for press attention. She's doing it because she genuinely wants to help the community.'
Hutchins appeared on E!'s I Am Cait, a reality series that chronicled Jenner's life after transitioning. Despite frequent speculation, both Hutchins and Jenner denied any romantic involvement, describing their relationship as a deep friendship.
Born on April 1, 1996, in Bellevue, Washington, Hutchins graduated from Pepperdine University in 2019 with a degree in economics and finance. She later founded the sunscreen brand Lumasol, which emphasised skin protection with luxury design.
Sophia Hutchins is remembered for her warmth, ambition, and unwavering support of the trans community.

Madsen dead at 67
US actor Michael Madsen – best known for his frequent collaborations with director Quentin Tarantino including Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill – died on Thursday at age 67 after suffering cardiac arrest, his management team said, as per AFP. The actor was found unresponsive early Thursday at his home in Malibu, they said. "Michael Madsen was one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, who will be missed by many," his managers Susan Ferris and Ron Smith said in a joint statement with his publicist, Liz Rodriguez. Madsen's most iconic performances include Mr. Blonde, a psychopathic criminal in the 1992 crime thriller Reservoir Dogs, and Budd, the younger brother of the antagonist in the Kill Bill movies, both directed by Tarantino. In addition to his appearances in other Tarantino films like The Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, Madsen's prolific career saw him play more than 300 roles over the course of 40 years. Among his other notable films are Thelma & Louise, Free Willy, Donnie Brasco and the 2002 James Bond flick Die Another Day. Madsen also did voiceovers for several video games, including Grand Theft Auto III, and published several volumes of poetry. Madsen was born on September 25, 1957 in Chicago to a firefighter father and a filmmaker mother. His sister, Virginia Madsen, is also an actor. He married three times over the course of his life and had six children, one of whom died by suicide in 2022. As per the BBC, Madsen divorced his wife of 28 years, DeAnna, in 2024, over the death of their son Hudson, according to People magazine. "My brother Michael has left the stage," Virginia wrote in a statement to Variety. "He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother – etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark."
