Somber Caitlyn Jenner breaks silence on friend and manager Sophia Hutchins' death after ATV crash
A somber Caitlyn Jenner has broken her silence on the sudden death of her longtime friend and manager, Sophia Hutchins. While stepping out for a coffee run Thursday in Malibu, Calif. — where she lives — Jenner, 75, told the Daily Mail she was going through 'tough times' and didn't 'want to talk.' The casually dressed Olympic gold medalist hid her eyes behind black sunglasses. Hutchins died Wednesday morning in an ATV accident near Jenner's condo. She was 29. Hutchins was reportedly driving the four-wheeler when she collided with the bumper of a moving vehicle, throwing both her and her ATV off the road and down a 350-foot ravine. According to aerial footage of the cash site, Hutchins' ATV landed upside down on top of an old car that had also plunged down the cliff. Emergency responders pronounced her dead at the scene. No one else was injured. It's unclear where Jenner was at the time of the fatal crash. The former decathlete met Hutchins via their hairstylists in 2015 — the same year Jenner came out as transgender. Hutchins credited Jenner's coming out story with helping her complete her own transition. Two years later, the Pepperdine University graduate moved in with Jenner, who was 46 years her senior, and became her manager. Hutchins appeared in several episodes of the reality show 'I Am Cait' and attended numerous events with Jenner's ex-wife Kris Jenner and her Kardashian kids. 'I'm on good terms with all the family, but I'm closest with Kris, Kim [Kardashian], Kylie [Jenner] and Kendall [Jenner],' Hutchins explained in 2019. She even starred in an ad campaign for Kim's shapewear brand, Skims. Caitlyn's close friendship with Hutchins sparked a slew of dating rumors, which they both repeatedly denied. In 2018, Hutchins insisted that her relationship with Jenner was 'never romantic' or 'sexual' but rather 'very parental' and 'protective.' She reiterated in 2021 that there was 'no hanky panky' between the pals.

ATV Crash Claims Life Of Caitlyn Jenner's Right-Hand Woman At 29
Caitlyn Jenner has been rocked by heartbreak after her longtime manager and close friend, Sophia Hutchins, tragically died in a horrific ATV crash at just 29 years old. The fatal accident occurred near Jenner's Malibu home, where Hutchins reportedly lost control of the vehicle and plunged hundreds of feet into a ravine. Known not only as Caitlyn's right-hand woman but also a rising business star and LGBTQ advocate, Hutchins' sudden death has sent shockwaves through Hollywood, leaving fans and friends stunned. According to PEOPLE Magazine, Hutchins was driving an ATV on a residential road near Caitlyn Jenner's $3.5 million Malibu home when she struck the bumper of a moving vehicle carrying two passengers. The force of the collision threw her and the ATV off the road, and she plunged approximately 350 feet into a ravine. Emergency responders arrived shortly afterward and pronounced her dead at the scene. Thankfully, the occupants of the other vehicle were unharmed. The tragic incident occurred early on the morning of July 2, and authorities have yet to release a full statement regarding possible contributing factors such as speed or visibility. Hutchins was far more than Caitlyn's manager; she was a trusted confidante and family member. The two first met in 2015, shortly after the reality TV star came out as transgender. Two years later, Hutchins moved into Jenner's Malibu home and assumed a co-managing role. In no time, their close friendship sparked dating rumors, but Hutchins constantly dismissed the speculations, maintaining their relationship was strictly professional and familial. "It was never romantic. Never sexual. It was very much friends, but I understand why people perceived it that way. We never addressed it, and that was part of the problem," the TV personality said during a 2018 appearance on Jim Breslo's "Hidden Truth" podcast. "It's more parental. I date guys. And Caitlyn's like, I gotta sign off on him. It's very parental, very protective. We're family. It's an interesting family situation. All of my family is," she added. Since the news of Hutchins's passing broke on the internet, netizens have taken to social media to pay tribute. "That's heartbreaking news. Sophia Hutchins was a vibrant presence, and her tragic loss at just 29 in such a horrific ATV accident is devastating. My thoughts are with her loved ones and Caitlyn Jenner during this difficult time. RIP," one fan wrote on X. A different user wrote, "Caitlyn Jenner's manager and longtime friend, Sophia Hutchins, had died after a horrific ATV accident. My condolences to Sophia's family and friends. 29 is just too young to pass away." Another user wrote, "Very sad. Prayers out to her family and Caitlyn Jenner." Hutchins's death isn't the first tragedy the Jenner family has dealt with in recent times. On February 22, 2025, Caitlyn's daughter, Kylie Jenner, said goodbye to her hairstylist, Jesus Guerrero. According to a statement shared by the DME, Guerrero arrived at the hospital the previous day complaining about feeling unwell. Sadly, he was pronounced dead the following morning. Following his demise, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner revealed the hairstylist died of severe pneumonia. According to the report, he contracted a lung infection as well as Cryptococcus neoformans, a fungal species. They also cited AIDS as a secondary cause of death. Days later, sources told PEOPLE Kylie was doing everything to help Guerrero's family. "As upset as she feels, she knows it's so much worse for his family. She doesn't want them to stress about money. She's taking care of expenses, including those associated with his funeral," they said. Months after Guerrero's death, Caitlyn Jenner's stepdaughter, Kim Kardashian, confirmed the death of her childhood friend, Lindsay May. According to a post shared on the SKIMS founder's Instagram Stories on June 17, the entertainment consultant passed away after a battle with cancer. She also revealed that their mutual friend Simone Harouche had begun a fundraiser to raise money for research on the disease. "In memory of our Lifer Lindz, who recently passed away of a rare form of cancer," Kardashian wrote per E! News. "Our lifer @simoneharouche has partnered with @citizensofhumanity to donate $50 from every pair to the neuroendocrine tumor research foundation."

Caitlyn Jenner 'numb with shock' over death of Sophia Hutchins
Caitlyn Jenner is "numb with shock" over the shock death of her longtime friend and manager Sophia Hutchins. Sophia, 29, is believed to have collided with a car while riding an all-terrain vehicle on a road close to Caitlyn's property in Malibu, California last week, before the ATV plummeted into a ravine. A source told "Caitlyn is numb with shock. She is absolutely devastated and can't believe what's happened. Sophia was a big part of her life." TMZ previously reported that emergency services were called, but Sophia was pronounced dead at the scene. No one else is believed to have been injured in the accident. Sophia took over managing Caitlyn's career in 2017 following the reality star's divorce from Kris Jenner. She appeared in her reality show I am Cait and even lived with the star at her Malibu home. She explained the career move in an interview with the New York Times in 2019, insisting she just wanted to protect her friend at a vulnerable time in her life. Sophia told the publication: "I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage. "And I was saying: 'Caitlyn, if I don't step in here and start managing you, you're going to go broke'." She added of their relationship: "Caitlyn is a parent to me. I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship." The pair became so close, they were forced to deny speculation they were romantically involved. Sophia is believed to have maintained a good relationship with Caitlyn's ex-wife Kris and daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, while she also appeared in a campaign for SKIMS - the clothing brand run by Caitlyn's stepdaughter Kim Kardashian.
