Caitlyn comforts Sophia's mom after death of her daughter
Sophia, like Caitlyn, was transgender and cited the father-of-six as the inspiration for coming out in college at Pepperdine University in 2016.
Sophia wasn't just Caitlyn's manager, she was her friend and lived in the Olympian's Malibu mansion with her.
Caitlyn looked somber in Malibu on Friday, marking the first time she had been seen in public since the tragedy - before exclusively telling DailyMail.com she was going through 'tough times' navigating the loss of Hutchins.
Caitlyn later said: 'I don't want to talk' about the tragedy.
In 2017, Hutchins moved into Jenner's home and began working as the Caitlyn's manager, taking over the role from Caitlyn's ex-wife Kris Jenner, 69, after their 2015 divorce.
Sophia was in Caitlyn's inner circle for over a decade after she came out as a transgender woman in 2016.
The pair that year and appeared in multiple episodes of the television documentary series I Am Cait, a spin-off of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Despite living under one roof, Sophia previously told The New York Times that they 'were never romantically involved', insisting it was all about work and friendship.
'Caitlyn is a parent to me. I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship,' Sophia said.
Sophia was formerly Scott Hutchins and began her transition while attending college, but previously revealed that she had identified as female at a young age.
As a student at Pepperdine, she began to undergo certain medical procedures as well as hormone treatments and hair removal.

What if Jesus was a vlogger? The AI Bible stories flooding social media
Jesus walks through an emerald field holding a selfie stick. The first chords of Billie Eilish's Birds of a Feather rise like a prayer. 'OK besties so apparently I'm the chosen one, like full-blown save humanity arc,' he cheeses. 'Love that for me.' Jesus flicks his Jonathan Van Ness locks behind his ears. The scene switches. He's still holding the selfie stick but now he's strolling through a dusty town. 'So I just told the squad I have to die and Peter literally tried to gaslight me. Like babes, don't be dramatic. This is the prophecy.' Another cut. Jesus at a candlelit banquet. 'Hey chat, so we're halfway through dinner. Judas couldn't even make eye contact.' He shakes his head and looks back to the camera with a knowing smirk. 'He's so fake!' This article includes content provided by Instagram.

On first glance, this genre of video – the reimagination of Bible stories through the Americanised lens of fuckboy vlog culture – feels like bizarre, sacrilegious gobbledegook. Unless you want to intellectualise it as the congregation of 2025's holy trinity: AI, influencer culture and rising conservatism. Up to you. Are these videos a sign of the times? Are they symptomatic of the American right? Are they brainwashing me towards Christianity? Why is their biblical drip kind of horny? Why can't I stop watching them? Why is my brain leaking out of my ear?!? My first indoctrination to these Bible vlogs happened while I was lying in bed. I was slack-jawed from a scrolling session of biblical proportions when the algorithm parted and Joseph of Nazareth hit my screen. 'Peep the fit! Ancient drip on lock y'all. Market haul hitting different today. Figs stay juicy, no cap.' I sat up slightly, wiping the drool from my mouth. Further drivel is not often the antidote to brain rot, and yet … I was Daniel in the lion's den. I was Jonah inside the whale. I was mixing metaphors. My commitment to scrolling had delivered me to salvation. This article includes content provided by TikTok.

In the days of yore I flirted with religion. I knelt in church with my grandparents when they were in town, attended scripture, chilled at youth group to socialise with my friends and boys at large. There was a brief dalliance with Hillsong (I was 13 and needed Friday night plans). I decided it was all a bit much when: a) a girl in front of me started shaking and screaming that her parents were 'captured by the devil'; and b) I peeked behind a curtain in the church and saw a bunch of teenagers fingering each other. My views on both fingering and religion have now changed. The current extent of my spiritual practice is saying stuff such as 'Jesus take the wheel!' or 'Oh my God!' and taking pictures of ecclesiastical iconography while travelling in Catholic countries to then later post on Instagram. And yet every night of the week I find myself flicking past outfit inspo and restaurant recommendations so I can sink my teeth into an AI-generated vibe check from the last supper. So I can tuck into a vlog of a Trojan horse unboxing. Or perhaps even a vox pop from Easter Monday. And then a series of street reactions to David killing Goliath. Really cool stuff.

I was preaching to the converted; she, too, had bitten into the apple of AI Bible stories. Jesus, she said, was kind of the first influencer. Mary and Joseph were giving toxic vlog parents. And if Judas was around now he'd totally be uploading 40-minute-uncut-no-makeup YouTube screeds – or at least a finely crafted notes app apology. Momentarily, I consider the environmental cost. How many litres of water did it take for me to witness Mary dabbing? How many finite resources were burned so an AI Jesus could make a joke about dropping the water to wine tutorial? How many years did we take off the planet so – wait! Shh. The next video is starting. Adam sits in a podcast booth, noise-cancelling headphones on, a mic in front of him, sporting a top constructed of a flimsy conga line of leaves. 'So God makes me. Right? Boom. First man, no parents, no nothing. I'm like … 'Ooh … I'm literally about to be everyone's daddy!'' My eyes glaze over, my mouth falls open and I bring my hands to prayer. They part and I clash them together, again and again, demonic. Another one! Another one! Another one!

He played the rebellious heartthrob in a Texas oil dynasty... now 79, this soap star carries the same charisma walking down Rodeo Drive... can you guess who?
He was the troubled yet irresistible heartthrob of a hit 80s soap opera, transforming a wayward black sheep into a beloved icon and securing his place as one of the most recognizable faces in the genre. On the show, his character had multiple affairs, reunited with his first wife, got caught up in a scandalous murder, relapsed into alcoholism and inherited a fortune before losing it all. The show ran for 14 seasons, but this now 79-year-old actor first took on the role in its hit prequel, where he consistently clashed with his powerful Texas oil family. After the series found success, he tried his hand at made-for-TV movies. But he ultimately would make his way back to soaps, becoming a regular on the most recognizable modern daytime show up until the age of 71. Can you guess who it is? He was the troubled yet irresistible heartthrob of a hit 80s soap opera, transforming a wayward black sheep into a beloved icon and securing his place as one of the most recognizable faces in the genre On Knots Landing, his character had affairs, reunited with his first wife, got caught up in a scandalous murder, relapsed into alcoholism and inherited a fortune before losing it all The show ran for 14 seasons, but this now-79-year-old actor first took on the role in its hit prequel, where he consistently clashed with his powerful Texas oil family It's Ted Shackelford! The handsome actor known for his rugged looks was spotted running errands on Friday in Beverly Hills near Rodeo Drive. He looked snazzy in a suede light brown blazer over a dark blue-collar shirt that was layered over a gray undershirt. For pants, he went with a more casual style, opting for dark-washed jeans coupled with gray sneakers. During his recent outing, the 79-year-old was seen walking with the aid of a stylish black-and-white houndstooth cane, a subtle reminder of the passage of time since his days as a soap opera heartthrob. Yet even with the years behind him, he still carried that unmistakable charisma, dressed with flair and sporting the classic combed-back hair that made him a standout on screen. Ted Shackelford, 79, enjoyed his Friday wandering around Beverly Hills near Rodeo Drive, running errands and looking sleek in his light brown suede blazer over a dark blue-collar shirt layered over a gray undershirt Even though his glory days are behind him, the actor kept his cane classy in a stylish black and white houndstooth print From 1979 to 1993, Shackelford starred as the front man on Knots Landing, a spinoff of Dallas, as Gary Ewing, who moves to a cul-de-sac in California alongside his wife Valene, played by Joan Van Ark Shackelford's turn as Gary Ewing proved a breakout success after he stepped into the role in 1979, replacing David Ackroyd as the conflicted middle son of oil tycoon Jock Ewing on Dallas. His character became so popular that he was granted a spin-off show, Knots Landing, with the premise that he and his newly married wife Valene – played by Joan Van Ark – branched off from Texas to move to a cul-de-sac outside of Los Angeles in a classic soap opera format featuring affairs, murders, financial scandals and kidnappings. As the charming front man, Shackelford's character marries and divorces his wife Valene twice, having an affair with villainess Abby who he marries and then divorces, falls into alcoholism, gets implicated in a murder and loses his inheritance all before getting back with his first wife. The show's run between 1979 to 1993 was so successful that the cast came back for a mini-series only four years later. He also appeared on Dallas in 2013, where he reunited with his first wife, Valene, in his final episode. During his time on Knots Landing, the actor also tried his hand at made-for-television movies such as Baby of the Bride (1991) and Sweet Temptation (1996) while also guest-starring in shows such as The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Hotel. His character, Gary, in true soap opera fashion, marries and divorces his wife, Valene, twice, has an affair, relapses into alcoholism, gets implicated in a murder and loses his inheritance all before getting back with his first wife A main plot point on the show was the sordid love triangle between Gary, on and off wife Valene and the villainous Abby, played by Donna Mills Despite his exit from the show in the late 90s, Shackelford continued to star in soap operas up until the age of 71. From 2006 to 2015, he became a regular on the hit daytime drama The Young and the Restless, playing Genoa City's district attorney William Bardwell. After the character's on-screen death from a stroke, he returned as William's twin brother, Jeffrey. His most recent appearance on television was on NCIS in 2017 as a guest star.

Braless Jennifer Lopez strikes a VERY provocative pose in new selfie
Jennifer Lopez had a blast on the 4th of July. The Let's Get Loud singer, 55, shared a cheeky video to her Instagram, in which she couldn't stop giggling as she attempted to take some selfies. 'Happy 4th of July,' she began while barely holding back her laughter. 'Want a cupcake?' she said while holding two in front of her breasts and shaking her torso from side to side. The superstar went on to joke: 'This is what happens when you hang out with the gays.' The video then cut to a clip of Jennifer Coolidge in season two of White Lotus saying 'the gays.' She proceeded to share the cupcake selfies in an Instagram post and captioned it, 'Happy Fourth of July everybody. ✨ Here are the cupcake selfies LOL.' Her fans overwhelmingly shared love and Happy 4th of July wishes to their idol. Many said that the last photo in the Wedding Planner star's carousel – the one with two cupcakes over her breasts – was their favorite. One fan offered the Jenny From the Block singer some sage advice. 'I'll take a cupcake??! Happy Fourth Jennifer!! ❤️P.S. Hang out with the fabulous gays more often please, and thank you.' Another fan thanked Lopez for all she does to bring happiness to her life. 'So cute! I just love you Jen, thank you for being so wonderful just the way you are, thank you for having a huge heart and for always (even when you're busy) always thinking about your JLovers, never change the way you are! ' They continued: 'Thank you to the universe for my heart choosing to be a fan of someone like you.' The Marry Me star's post comes after she took a swipe at her ex-husband Ben Affleck, 52, in a new song. The Gigli star debuted six new songs at an exclusive listening party for 30 lucky fans in Los Angeles last week - and dropped a hint about her recent personal turmoil. She filed for divorce from her fourth husband Affleck last August on what would have been their second wedding anniversary. The collapse of their marriage was the culmination of months of rumors that the couple's relationship was heading towards implosion. Lopez appears to have taken a swipe at Ben in her music, in the lyrics to a song called Wreckage of You that she played at the listening party. One of the guests, Edgardo Luis Rivera, shared that JLo 'kept thinking of the word "wreck" because it means destruction, but she wasn't destroyed. 'In fact, the lyrics of the song are: "I'm stronger after the wreckage of you,"' via Us Weekly. 'She mentioned how last year was a very difficult time for her both personally and professionally. She had to cancel her tour and really focus on herself,' he noted. JLo scrapped her This Is Me... Live tour last summer, saying she 'needed to be with my kids and myself and really dig down deep into things that were happening in my life' - amid the rumors her marriage to Ben was on the rocks. 'Fast-forward to one year later,' said Edgardo, talking about the listening party: 'and she feels better and stronger than ever, so she wanted to write a song about coming out of a bad situation much stronger.' Another attendee described the musical number as a 'very emotional, empowering song about walking away from a relationship and coming out a stronger person.' The other five songs she played at the party were all reportedly more peppy, and were called Birthday, Free, Up All Night, Save Me Tonight and Regular. Edgardo explained that those songs were 'fun, more Jennifer of old in terms of music style,' calling them 'really good songs' with a 'real vibe to them' and dishing that the assembled fans went 'nuts' while listening to Birthday.
