Sophia Hutchins, the 29-year-old manager and close confidante of Caitlyn Jenner, died in a devastating ATV accident near Jenner’s Malibu home. The incident occurred on July 2, when Hutchins was driving an all-terrain vehicle and collided with the back of a moving car. The force of the impact caused her ATV to veer off the road and plunge 350 feet into a ravine. Emergency responders arrived swiftly but pronounced Hutchins dead at the scene. The two people in the car were unharmed, and it remains unclear if Jenner was present at her residence during the tragedy.

Hutchins and Jenner first met in 2015, the same year Jenner publicly came out as a transgender woman. Their friendship quickly deepened, with Hutchins stepping into the role of Jenner’s manager in 2017, following Jenner's divorce from Kris Jenner. Hutchins moved into Jenner’s Malibu home and became a regular presence on the docuseries “I Am Cait” and “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” Their bond was widely recognized in both the entertainment industry and the LGBTQ community, where Hutchins was seen as a supportive figure and a trusted advisor to Jenner.

Born on April 1, 1996, in Bellevue, Washington, Hutchins graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in economics and finance in 2019. She was a driven entrepreneur, founding the health-tech company LUMASOL, which specialized in sunscreen mist products. Hutchins also served as CEO and director of the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation, advocating for transgender rights and visibility. Her professional achievements were matched by her personal resilience and commitment to uplifting others.

Hutchins was remembered for her ambition, warmth, and unyielding spirit. Friends, fans, and colleagues mourned her untimely loss, recalling her as a trailblazer who inspired many through her advocacy and business ventures. Her legacy remains intertwined with Jenner’s journey and the broader fight for transgender equality.
