Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner’s close friend and business manager, tragically died on July 2, 2025, in Malibu, California, after an ATV accident. Reports from TMZ and official authorities clarified that the crash was accidental and not caused by alcohol, drugs, or any intentional act. Sophia’s 2013 Polaris ATV struck the rear bumper of a 2016 Mazda, causing her vehicle to veer off the road and tumble nearly 350 feet into a ravine, resulting in fatal blunt force injuries. While initial tests suggested traces of benzodiazepines, follow-up examinations confirmed there were no anti-anxiety medications or substances in her system at the time. Investigators determined that excessive speed and misjudgment were the main factors behind the accident.
Sophia Hutchins, born April 1, 1996, was a well-known entrepreneur and media personality. She founded the sunscreen company LUMASOL and served as CEO of the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation. She was also featured in the docuseries I Am Cait and was recognized for her advocacy as a transgender entrepreneur. Sophia always maintained that her bond with Caitlyn Jenner was professional and supportive. Caitlyn later visited the accident site but offered no public comments, noting only that she was going through a difficult time. The investigation has now put to rest earlier speculations of foul play or substance involvement in her untimely death.
