A Tragic Loss in Malibu

According to reports, the ATV Hutchins was driving collided with a car, which sent her vehicle plummeting down a 350-foot ravine. Emergency responders were unable to save her. The shocking and untimely death has left Jenner and their shared circle of friends and colleagues devastated.
A Promising Career Cut Short

In addition to managing Jenner’s career and foundation, Hutchins was an entrepreneur in her own right. She was the founder and CEO of LUMASOL, a health technology company that developed a popular SPF 50+ sunscreen mist.
An “Inseparable” Bond with Caitlyn Jenner
Hutchins and Jenner first met in 2015 and quickly formed a deep personal and professional bond, with Hutchins becoming Jenner’s manager and housemate. Their extremely close relationship led to years of tabloid speculation that they were a romantic couple, a rumor both consistently denied.

Jenner once described their relationship to Variety by saying, “We are not going to get into that. But we are very close. We do a lot of things together. We’re kind of inseparable. We’re the best of friends.”
Hutchins explained her role as helping to guide Jenner’s post-reality TV career toward more meaningful advocacy. “Caitlyn is not working on these [activist] issues for press attention,” she told Fox News. “She’s doing it because she genuinely wants to help the community.” The tragic accident has cut short a promising career and ended a profound friendship that had blossomed in the public eye.
