Sophia Hutchins Dead at 29 | Caitlyn Jenner’s Friend Dies in ATV Crash

News like this feels unreal. Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner’s close friend and manager, is gone. Just 29. She died in a horrible ATV accident right near Caitlyn’s home in Malibu.

Authorities say it happened on the road where Caitlyn lives. Sophia’s ATV hit the bumper of a moving car. That crash threw her and the ATV off the road. It fell 350 feet into a ravine. First responders got there fast but there was nothing they could do. She died right there.

How Did Sophia And Caitlyn Meet?

A lot of folks first heard Sophia’s name back in 2015. That’s when Caitlyn went public with her transition. Sophia stepped into the picture not long after. They connected fast. Sophia even appeared on Caitlyn’s E! show I Am Cait. Some people called her Caitlyn’s partner, some said best friend, some just manager. Sophia seemed to handle a bit of everything. She ran Caitlyn’s business stuff and public appearances too.

What Happens Now For Caitlyn?

Right now, there’s no word from Caitlyn. It’s not clear if she was home when the crash happened or if she saw any of it. Police say the two people in the car Sophia’s ATV hit are fine. Nobody else was on the ATV either.

Sophia was more than a manager. She was this constant in Caitlyn’s life for years. The two seemed inseparable at events. She handled the business, the bookings, the noise. Now she’s just gone. 29 is way too young to vanish like that.
