Sophia Hutchins dead: Kardashians tragedy as Jenner manager dies in horror accident

Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner‘s friend and manager, died on the morning of Wednesday July 2 at the age of 29 after a horror accident sent her ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) crashing 350 feet down a ravine near Caitlyn's Malibu home, where she lived. The star, who had appeared in Caitlyn's reality show I Am Cait, was pronounced dead on the scene by first responders. There were two people in the other vehicle but they were uninjured. It is not known if former Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Caitlyn witnessed the accident. The star was riding the ATV when she struck the bumper of a moving car and the impact sent it plummeting 350 feet down into a ravine.

Sophia, who was transgender, has been the closest friend and confidant of Caitlyn, 75, for over a decade and she frequently cited the reality star as her inspiration for coming out in college. She moved into Jenner's $3.5million Malibu mansion in 2017 and began working as the former Olympian's manager. She took over the role from Caitlyn'sex-wife Kris Jenner, 69, after their 2015 divorce.

When Caitlyn landed her own Keeping Up With The Kardashians spin off I Am Cait on E! Sophia made regualr appearances.

The show gave an insight into Caitlyn's life post transition and showed her unorthodox life with Sophia over it's two seasons.

Despite their unusual living arrangements the pair continually insisited they were not in a relationship. Sophia previously told The New York Times they "were never romantically involved".

"I don't feel a need to address my sex life, quite frankly, unless I want to," she told the publication.
