Sofia Hutchins became a close confidante and manager of Caitlyn Jenner, but her life was cut short in July 2025 — just a few days before Independence Day — when she was involved in a fatal ATV accident in Malibu, California, reportedly near Caitlyn’s home. As interest in Sofia and her connections to the Kardashian-Jenner family grew, Hollywood Life gathered five key facts about Sofia below.
Sofia told her school newspaper in 2016 that she decided to transition after being inspired by Caitlyn Jenner’s story. She was born male and previously went by Scott. «I always had the question: 'Do I want to transition from male to female?' I never really thought about it much until I got to college, because I was able to break away from my family and start building my own identity. College gave me time to work through a lot of issues that had always been there», - she said about her own gender transition process.
In the past, Sofia took stunning photos of herself as a model, proving she had a talent for the camera. But she focused on her endeavors as a businesswoman.
Sofia graduated from Pepperdine University in Malibu with a degree in finance. She continued her passions, calling herself a «serial entrepreneur, founder, and investor», - according to her Instagram profile.
After meeting Caitlyn in 2015, Sofia later became the CEO and director of the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation. The non-profit organization was founded in 2017 with a mission to provide grants to organizations that strengthen the lives of all transgender individuals, including youth, combating school violence, suicide prevention, healthcare, housing, employment, and other relevant programs.
Despite false rumors about the nature of their friendship, Caitlyn and Sofia never dated; they were just close friends. During an interview with The New York Times in December 2019, Sofia said they were never in a romantic relationship. As for why she didn’t rush to dispel rumors of a romantic relationship? «I don’t need to discuss my sex life, honestly, until I want to», - Sofia told the publication.
On July 2, 2025, Sofia died in an ATV accident in Malibu, California. TMZ was the first to report her death. According to the publication, she collided with a car carrying two passengers, and her ATV veered off the side of the road and fell into a 350-foot ravine. Rescuers pronounced Sofia dead at the scene, and the two other people in the collision were unharmed
