“This was astoundingly incredibly gorgeous!!! I feel a mama pride and she is not even mine!”
While out grabbing a coffee, Daily Mail reporters asked former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner about the death of her manager and good friend, Sophia Hutchins.
Hutchins died on Wednesday, July 2 after the ATV she was driving collided with another vehicle.
The following day, Thursday, July 3, Daily Mail caught up with Jenner while running errands, who said she was going through “tough times.”
Jenner, 69, later added telling photographers, “I don’t want to talk.”
Jenner and Hutchins, 29, first became friends after also coming out as transgender in 2015.
“Caitlyn is a parent to me. I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship,” Sophia once told The New York Times of their relationship.

Multiple news outlets are reporting that Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner’s longtime friend and manager, has died.
According to People, Hutchins was just 29 years old.
TMZ, the first outlet to share the news, reports Hutchins declared dead on Wednesday, July 2, following an ATV accident.
According to TMZ, Hutchins was driving the motorized vehicle in Malibu, California, near Jenner’s residence “she struck the bumper of a moving car” reportedly carrying two people.
“That impact forced the ATV over the shoulder, sending it, and Hutchins plummeting 350 feet down into a ravine.”
Hutchins, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was reportedly alone at the time of the deadly tragic accident.
Hutchins last posted on her Instagram account on April 28. She shared photos of herself fixing a broken cherub candle holder.
“From a headless cherub, missing one leg, arm, and foot, to a healing cherub. You can officially call me surgeon, Dr. Hutchins.”
As of the morning of Friday, July 4, Jenner has not yet shared a statement regarding Hutchins’ passing.
