Caitlyn Jenner’s longtime friend Sophia Hutchins has died at 29 following a horror ATV accident near the reality star’s Malibu home.

Hutchins — who has been acting as Jenner’s manager since 2017 — tragically passed away after colliding with the rear of a moving car while she was operating an ATV on the morning of Wednesday, July 2.

According to sources, the collision caused the ATV to veer off the shoulder, resulting in both the vehicle and Hutchins falling ‘350 feet down into a ravine.’

First responders reportedly pronounced Hutchins dead at the scene.

The two individuals in the car struck by Hutchins and the ATV were not injured.

As of now, it’s unclear If Jenner had witnessed Hutchins’ crash or if she was even home at the time of the fatal incident on Wednesday.

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Jenner, Hutchins and the Kardashian family for comment but has yet to hear back.

Hutchins has been Jenner’s closest confidant for over a decade after the celebrated Olympian, 75, came out as a transgender woman in 2015.

Like Jenner, Hutchins is also transgender and she frequently cited the father-of-six as her inspiration for coming out in college.

In 2017, Hutchins moved into Jenner’s $3.5million Malibu mansion and began working as the star’s manager.

She took over the role from Jenner’s ex-wife Kris Jenner, 69, who divorced the star in 2015.

Hutchins often appeared on Jenner’s E! reality series I Am Cait, which was a spin-off of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that followed the star’s shock transition.

The series ran for just two seasons but it gave glimpses into Jenner and Hutchins’ unorthodox life together.

Despite living together under one roof, Hutchins previously told The New York Times that she and Jenner ‘were never romantically involved’ with each other — a sentiment that pair have repeated over the years.

Hutchins’ last public appearance with Jenner was in 2024 when she accompanied her to the April 2024 White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington, D.C.

Like Jenner, Hutchins was a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

Last year, Hutchins had the opportunity to meet the billionaire.

She uploaded a photo of herself beaming beside Trump in front of an American flag with the caption: ‘The energy, passion, and commitment for our movement to Save America has never been greater! We will never give up’

While not much is known about Hutchins’ early life, she was a student at the prestigious Pepperdine University when her and Caitlyn met.

In 2016, Sophia told her school newspaper that Jenner inspired her to transition.

She told the paper that seeing the famous 20/20 special about Jenner’s transition from male-to-female ‘made it so much more real’ for her.

Speaking on her own transition at the time, Sophia said: ‘I’ve always had the question of, ‘Do I want to transition from male to female?’ I never thought a lot about doing it until I got into college because I was able to break away from my family and started to establish my own identity.

‘College gave me the time to deal with a lot of issues that had always been there.’

Hutchins earned a Bachelor’s degree in economics and finance, graduating in 2018, all while working full-time as Jenner’s manager.

Hutchins revealed how she convinced Jenner to give her the coveted job while speaking to The New York Times in 2019.

The young blonde explained: ‘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.”‘

While it’s unclear how they met, Hutchins began appearing by Jenner’s side shortly after the star went public with her transition in 2015.

Since then, Hutchins has been Jenner’s plus-one at countless A-list events, including the famous Vanity Fair Oscar Party, film festivals and the ESPYS.
