In a heartbreaking turn of events, Sophia Hutchins, a close friend and manager of Caitlyn Jenner, has tragically passed away at the young age of 29. The news broke on Wednesday morning as reports confirmed that Hutchins lost her life in a devastating ATV accident in Malibu.
The accident occurred when Hutchins' ATV collided with a moving vehicle, resulting in her crashing approximately 350 feet down a ravine near Jenner's residence, where she had been living. According to initial reports from TMZ, Hutchins was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, with no other individuals sustaining injuries.
Sophia Hutchins was not only known for her close connection to Caitlyn Jenner but also for her significant contributions to the transgender community. She met Jenner during her gender transition back in 2015 and appeared in multiple episodes of the E! reality series I Am Cait as Jenner's manager. Hutchins was a pivotal figure in advocating for transgender rights and visibility.
Born on April 1, 1996, in Bellevue, Washington, Hutchins pursued her education at Pepperdine University, where she graduated in 2019 with a degree in economics and finance. Beyond her role as Jenner’s manager, she served as the founder and CEO of LUMASOL, a health technology company that reflects her entrepreneurial spirit.
In 2020, Hutchins shared her personal philosophy on resilience and success in an article on Medium. She emphasized the importance of perseverance, stating, “Don’t be afraid of the word no. Successful people, entrepreneurs, and women more than anyone else are told no all the time. If we allowed ‘no’ to deter us, we wouldn’t be where we are today.” Her words resonate with many and serve as a reminder of the strength required to overcome obstacles.
The loss of Sophia Hutchins has left a profound impact on those who knew her and the wider community. As friends, family, and fans come together to mourn, her legacy as a dedicated advocate for transgender rights and a passionate entrepreneur will undoubtedly be remembered.
