Caitlyn Jenner’s manager died after colliding with a car while on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride near Caitlyn’s Malibu mansion
Caitlyn Jenner has reportedly been supporting Sophia Hutchins’ family after her manager tragically died while on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride near Caitlyn’s Malibu mansion.
The LA Sheriff’s Department reported earlier this month that the 29-year-old died at around 11.30am. The crash occurred on Decker Canyon Road, which is a public road about a mile north of Pacific Coast Highway. Authorities were called, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. It was said that drones were used to help locate Sophia’s body after the ATV collided with another vehicle on the road above.

Almost two weeks after the tragic accident, it has been reported that Caitlyn, 75, has offered Sophie’s mum Amy a place to stay as they grieve the late manager’s death.
A source recently told TMZ: “Both devastated, Caitlyn and Amy have been leaning on each other for support during this incredibly difficult time.”
The Mirror have reached out to Caitlyn’s reps for comment.
In previous reports from MailOnline, officers claimed Sophia was speeding at the time of the crash.
“It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff,” Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo said to the publication.
“It doesn’t seem like she was following them. I think she just she came up on them and then hit the car.” The women in the Mazda, which Sophia is said to have tried to swerve around, were uninjured.
The sergeant said: “So it looked like she tried to manoeuvre to go around it, but she was going too fast and just ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda, causing her to veer off and go off the cliff there.”
It came as a source close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star disclosed to RadarOnline.com: “Caitlyn is numb with shock. She is absolutely devastated and can’t believe what’s happened. Sophia was a big part of her life.”
Sophia helped Caitlyn with her professional affairs after her split from Kris Jenner in 2017. Sophia, who featured in Caitlyn’s I Am Cait docuseries, wanted to help shield Caitlyn from exploitation.
In a candid New York Times piece from 2019, she 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’.”
