For the unversed, American socialite and media personality, Sophia Hutchins, best remembered as the longtime friend and manager of Caitlyn Jenner, was pronounced dead on the scene on July 2, after her all-terrain vehicle (ATV) crashed into the bumper of a moving car near the former Olympian’s Malibu residence and fell into a 350-foot deep ravine.

Speaking about the fatal car crash for the first time, a tearful Jenner said in her latest TV appearance, “Recently, my good friend Sophia passed away in a tragic accident. For the last seven weeks, I’ve been dealing with death, and it’s so difficult.”

Further reflecting on the Catholic school shooting, which killed two students and left several injured on August 27, ‘I Am Cait’ star continued, “So when this happened, it really hit me hard. Because here I am dealing with my grief, and I just can’t even imagine parents who dropped their kid off at school and, like that father just said, ‘I’ll never get a chance to talk to him again’. That is just so horrible.”

“And I’ve been dealing with grief, and these people have a long road ahead of them, and they’re going to be dealing with grief,” Jenner added.

Notably, the founder and CEO of sunscreen company LUMASOL, Hutchins, first met Jenner in 2015, when the latter announced her gender transition. Besides being her manager, she was also a close friend of Jenner.
