Caitlyn Jenner’s friend and manager, Sophia Hutchins, has died after she was involved in an ATV accident in Malibu, California, on Wednesday morning. She was 29.
TMZ first reported the news. Authorities and family sources told the outlet that Hutchins was riding on an ATV down a road near Jenner’s house when she collided with the bumper of a moving car carrying two passengers. Hutchins’ ATV went careening off of the shoulder of the road before plummeting 350 feet down into a ravine.
Hutchins was pronounced dead on the scene, according to TMZ. The passengers in the other vehicle were uninjured in the incident.
HuffPost has reached out to Jenner and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for comment.
Hutchins first met Jenner in 2015 when the former Olympian announced her gender transition. She appeared in several episodes of her E! reality series “I Am Cait” alongside Jenner.
Back in 2018, Hutchins, who previously lived with Jenner, gushed about her bond with the reality star while referring to the two of them as a “great match.”
“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,” Hutchins once said during an interview with “The Hidden Truth With Jim Breslo.”

Hutchins added: “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.”
