SHOCKING TRAGEDY ROCKS HOLLYWOOD: Transgender Manager and Caitlyn Jenner's Confidant Sophia Hutchins Dies in ATV Accident at 29

In a devastating turn of events, social media has been flooded with tributes and condolences after the shocking news broke that Sophia Hutchins, 29, the close friend and manager of Caitlyn Jenner, was tragically killed in a horrific ATV accident on Wednesday. The incident left fans and friends stunned, and those who knew her are still trying to come to terms with her untimely passing.

Sophia's Instagram followers, which have been steadily growing over the years, had noticed that she had taken an unusual hiatus from social media. Her last post, dated April 28, showed a before-and-after picture of a broken candelabra that she had miraculously glued back together again. The caption read: "From a headless cherub, missing one leg, arm, and foot, to a healing cherub. You can officially call me surgeon, Dr. Hutchins..."

Despite her 237,000 Instagram followers, the best friend of Caitlyn Jenner hadn't been active on the platform in over two months after her last post was dated April 28

Fans are now taking to the comment section to express their condolences and shock at the news of Sophia's passing. Many have written heartfelt messages, including: "RIP beautiful. I'm so sad"; "So tragic honestly….prayers for all the loved ones and friends"; "May she rest in peace"; and "You are forever loved". The outpouring of love and support is a testament to Sophia's impact on those who knew her.

Sophia's life was tragically cut short when she plunged 350 feet down a cliff near Caitlyn Jenner's Malibu home after the ATV she was driving struck the bumper of a moving car. According to sources, the impact forced the vehicle to plummet into a ravine, where Sophia was pronounced dead at the scene by first responders. The two individuals in the car that were struck by Sophia and her ATV were fortunately uninjured.

This tragic accident has sent shockwaves through the Kardashian-Jenner clan, who have been left reeling from the news of their beloved friend's passing. Caitlyn Jenner is said to be devastated at the loss of her confidant and close friend, with whom she shared a bond that went beyond just manager and client.

The two women met in 2015 when Sophia came out as transgender and credited Caitlyn, then known as Bruce, for inspiring her to do so. Over the years, Sophia worked as Caitlyn's manager, taking over the role from her ex-wife Kris Jenner after their divorce in 2015. The pair were incredibly close, with Caitlyn even appearing on multiple episodes of the documentary series "I Am Cait" alongside Sophia.

Despite living under one roof at Caitlyn's $3.5 million Malibu mansion, Sophia and Caitlyn maintained a platonic relationship, which was confirmed by Sophia herself in an interview with The New York Times. "Caitlyn is a parent to me," she said. "I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship."

Sophia's bond with the Kardashian-Jenner family extended beyond Caitlyn, and she was particularly close to Kris Jenner, who she spoke to regularly. She also had a strong friendship with Kendall and Kylie Jenner, who gifted her a stunning heart-shaped diamond necklace for Christmas.
