Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner's Longtime Friend & Manager, Dead In ATV Accident - Perez Hilton
Sophia Hutchins, who was best known publicly as Caitlyn Jenner‘s longtime friend and manager, has died.
According to multiple reports from both TMZ and People that surfaced late on Thursday night, the woman perished in an ATV accident that occurred in Mailbu. She was just 29 years old.
While details are still coming in about what happened, those outlets cited law enforcement sources who reported that Hutchins’ death occurred on Wednesday morning.

Per those police insiders, Hutchins was apparently driving an all-terrain vehicle down a road in Malibu near Jenner’s home. At some point, the ATV crashed into the bumper of another moving vehicle that was carrying two passengers. The ATV was forced over the shoulder of the mountain road on which it was traveling, cops say, and fell roughly 350 feet down an embankment into a ravine.
OMG…
Per TMZ, both passengers in the other vehicle were uninjured. But sadly, Sophia was pronounced dead at the scene.
Just awful. And she was so, so young, too. Oof.
Hutchins had been the I Am Cait star’s longtime friend after the pair first met in 2015 following Jenner’s transition. Sophia later appeared on that reality show for a time. She also ended up serving as CEO and director of the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation, among other roles and gigs closely related to Kris Jenner‘s ex.
Sophia even previously lived alongside Jenner in the former Olympian’s stunning Malibu home for a while, too. And as you might expect, Hutchins was also tight with other members of the KarJenner clan.
At one point, during an interview years ago on The Hidden Truth with host Jim Breslo, Sophia said this about her very close connection to Caitlyn:
“We have so much in common; we see the world so similarly and we both are such a good match for each because we challenge each other. She challenges me in so many ways, has allowed me to grow in so many ways and I hope I challenge her to grow and I think because we share so many of the same passions and views, it’s just a great match, a great partnership.”
We can’t even wrap our heads around this situation right now. What an awful tragedy.
We send all our condolences to Caitlyn, the KarJenner family, and all the rest of Sophia’s friends, family members, and loved ones at this time.
Rest In Peace…
