Sophia Hutchins, a long-time friend and business partner of Caitlyn Jenner, has died in an ATV accident in Malibu, California. Hutchins was only 29.
According to reports from authorities, the accident occurred on July 2, 2025 near Jenner’s home. Hutchins was driving an all-terrain vehicle when it collided with the bumper of another parked car. As a result, the ATV veered off course and fell nearly 350 feet into a ravine. Emergency response units arrived quickly to the scene, but Hutchins was pronounced dead. The people in the parked car were unharmed.
Because the accident occurred on private property, investigators are still trying to determine the actual cause of the crash. Authorities do not suspect foul play.
Hutchins was a familiar public figure, as Jenner’s close confidant and manager. The two began working together soon after Jenner publicly came out as transgender in 2015. Jenner and Hutchins remained connected personally and professionally since that time.
The news of her death has shocked those who knew her and were close to her with her death especially affecting Jenner, who cannot yet make a public statement. Friends and supporters of Hutchins have begun issuing tributes on social media, recognizing her work and contribution in Jenner’s life.
