Sophia Hutchins dead: new details emerge on Caitlyn Jenner's manager's ATV crash
New details have emerged regarding the devastating death of Caitlyn Jenner's manager, Sophia Hutchins. Sophia tragically collided with a car while enjoying an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride near Caitlyn's Malibu mansion and subsequently tumbled into a ravine.
The LA Sheriff's Department reported that the 29-year-old died at around 11.30am. The crash occurred on Decker Canyon Road, which is a public road about a mile north of Pacific Coast Highway. Authorities were called, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. It has been said that drones were used to help locate Sophia's body after the ATV collided with another vehicle on the road above.
In new reports from MailOnline, officers claimed Sophia was speeding at the time of the crash.
"It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff," Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo said to the publication.
"It doesn't seem like she was following them. I think she just she came up on them and then hit the car." The women in the Mazda, which Sophia is said to have tried to swerve around, were uninjured.
The sergeant said: "So it looked like she tried to manoeuvre to go around it, but she was going too fast and just ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda, causing her to veer off and go off the cliff there."
It comes as an insider close to Caitlyn disclosed to RadarOnline.com: "Caitlyn is numb with shock. She is absolutely devastated and can't believe what's happened. Sophia was a big part of her life."
Sophia helped Caitlyn with her professional affairs after her split from Kris Jenner in 2017. Sophia, who featured in Caitlyn's I Am Cait docuseries, wanted to help shield Caitlyn from exploitation.
In a candid New York Times piece from 2019, she explained: "I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage. And I was saying: 'Caitlyn, if I don't step in here and start managing you, you're going to go broke'."
She clarified their relationship further by adding: "Caitlyn is a parent to me. I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship."
In a previous conversation, Sophia further dispelled rumours regarding their association, declaring unambiguously: "We were never romantically involved."
In a heartbreaking final post before the fatal accident, Sophia spoke about healing. She shared a snap of an ornament she had fixed, and wrote alongside it: "From a headless cherub, missing one leg, arm, and foot, to a healing cherub. You can officially call me surgeon, Dr. Hutchins…"

King Charles accused of 'slap in the face' by Princess Diana's personal aide
King Charles, monarch of the United Kingdom for nearly three years, welcomed French president Emmanuel Macron for a state visit this week, during which they had a banquet King Charles was accused of giving "a huge slap in the face" to the Buckingham Palace royal chefs - by enlisting French icon Raymond Blanc to help prepare this week's state banquet. The monarch is said to have wanted to honour French president Emmanuel Macron by inviting Mr Blanc to assist the palace's own team in preparing food for the function. The first element of Mr Macron's state visit included the lavish meal at Windsor Castle's impressive St George's Hall, which Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales and showbiz stars also attended. But Darren McGrady, personal chef to the late Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana and Princes William and Harry, said Charles' call to use Mr Blanc's support for the bash was unwise. He said: "I get that Raymond Blanc is one of the best chefs in the world, and I get that he is a King's Foundation ambassador, and I get that 'the collaboration is in the spirit of Entente Cordiale (a cordial agreement)' but it's a huge slap in the face to the palace royal chefs." When Buckingham Palace announced Mr Blanc's involvement in the state banquet, a spokesman said he was invited to help "create the first course and dessert". He has a long friendship with the monarch and has been guest speaker at several royal events over the years, including horticulrural festivals at Highgrove. But it is understood while Mr Blanc, who runs Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Oxfordshire, was asked to help with the main course, the celebrity cook left that part of the meal to Mark Flanagan, the Royal Household's head chef. Yet, speaking to Mail Online, furious Mr McGrady, 63, added: "For sure, Macron will not be bringing in British chefs for a King Charles state visit to France." Mr McGrady, who worked as the personal chef to Princess Diana and her children until her death in 1997, hit back at the praise Charles has received for the move. Some fans said it was a mark of respect to Mr Macron that King Charles called on Mr Blanc, born near Besançon, east France, to help with the culinary spectacular. It is believed dishes served on Tuesday had French inspiration or French twists. Dad-of-two Mr Blanc, who has restaurants in central London, Portsmouth, Bath, Leeds and other British places, said he wanted to include the Royal Household's head chef as mark of respect to the monarch. He told Mail Online: "He's a royal chef who's cooked for the King for many years, plus he's a great friend – it's all part of respect. "I could have done everything if I'd insisted, but Mark did a beautiful course – Rhug Estate chicken with British produce, with a beautiful tarragon sauce, a French way. It was a splendid occasion." Of McGrady's gripes, Mr Blanc added: "We all have an opinion – and I've got a different one. I like to bring people together." Despite the criticism from Mr McGrady, King Charles also received a great deal of praise for inviting his friend Mr Blanc to help with the glitzy function at Windsor Castle.

Reason latest twist in Beckhams' feud could be devastating for little Harper
Harper Beckham has reportedly idolised her oldest brother Brooklyn since she was a young child, but friction has developed within the family since Brooklyn's no-show at Sir David's birthday bash Harper Beckham will be "devastated" today if her oldest brother Brooklyn fails to wish her a happy birthday, it is said. Sir David and Lady Beckham's youngest child - and only daughter - is understood to have idolised Brooklyn since she was a young child. Although she doesn't have Instagram yet, it is believed the "family thing" is to tag Harper in a photograph on posts as #harperseven to acknowledge her big day as she turns 14. But Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were no-shows at Sir David's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year, which has led to a public feud within the family. Fearful of a repeat of this episode, a source said: "Brooklyn and Harper used to be inseparable. He adored her, he hopefully still does, but the problem is that Brooklyn has a track record for ignoring family birthdays now. "It would be devastating for Harper not to hear from him. She hasn't done anything and she's only 13 years old, she is the innocent party here." Brooklyn Beckham 'so happy' as he shares major update on in-laws amid family rift The concern has emerged after Nicola, 30, made a number of eyebrow-raising remarks about family life as her own father's birthday celebrations enter a third week. Showing her followers her Pop Mart dolls lined up in a row, she wrote: "our little family", with a telling second snap, which she captioned: "My mom just gets it." She later posted a snap of herself hugging her father, writing: "I love you so much dad." This has led to the insider's comments Harper will be disappointed if she doesn't hear from Brooklyn, either privately or publicly today. They told Mail Online:"Harper's birthday has always been such a happy day, she's the adored little daughter so it's always so joyous but this is a tough situation. Brooklyn was 12 when Harper was born, he was so important in her life and it must be terribly sad that she isn't seeing him since the fall out with David and Victoria happened." At the start of her relationship with Brooklyn, Nicola seemed to forge a strong bond with Harper. The actress soon positioned herself as a "big sister" figure to the little girl, who is said to have "adored" her. Harper has reportedly also always been close to Brooklyn, who is 12 years older than her. But it is believed now the couple, who married in April 2022 at her family's £76million Florida mansion, no longer speak to Sir David and Lady Beckham. Our source said this week Brooklyn's younger siblings, particularly Harper, have sadly become collateral damage of the feud. "Harper's been particularly affected by what's going on because she's always been really close to Brooklyn," claimed the source. "They've always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born, and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she'd become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers."

Crew member on £9.5million superyacht brutally killed days before 21st birthday
Paige Bell was described as "a golden girl" by her devastated friends in the days after her death, which police in the Bahamas are now treating as murder An engineer from the Far From It superyacht appeared in court today accused of murdering a young crew member. The 39-year-old engineer is alleged to have slashed Paige Bell's throat during a Bahamas trip days before the stewardess' 21st birthday, a party for which had been planned for Friday. The young woman was found, partialy undressed, in the engine room when the yacht was moored, and declared dead at the scene. A court in Nassau, the Bahamian capital, heard the defendant had slashed Miss Bell's neck, and she had defensive injuries to her arms, suggesting she tried to fend off her alleged attacker on the £9.5million superyacht called Far From It. The engineer, who is a Mexican national, was not required to enter a plea. The engineer was denied bail and remanded into custody ahead of a hearing on November 20. Miss Bell, from Johannesburg, South Africa, was described as "a golden girl" by her devastated friends after her death. Her grieving family said they are "facing an unimaginable journey". The relatives, from Durban, South Africa, previously said: "Our family is facing an unimaginable journey. This evening mom and dad are flying to the Bahamas to begin the painful process of not only bringing their baby girl home but also seeking justice for the monster that took her life. "We are devastated beyond words and now we must also navigate complex and costly legal proceedings in a foreign country – something far beyond our financial means. "This heartbreaking loss has been deeply felt by everyone who knew and loved 'Paigey' – her former captain, the boat owner, all the crew on board and our entire community. "We are humbly asking for your support whether by sharing this message or contributing financially, every bit helps. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. We are grateful for your love, support, and solidarity during this incredibly difficult time." Mail Online says the engineer, a fellow crew member, had severe injuries to his arm when police apprehended him last week. After he received treatment in hospital, he was charged with murder. The alleged offence shocked the exclusive resort of Harbour Island which is a 3-mile by 1.5-mile playground for the rich and famous and a mecca for superyachts. Known as the "Billionaires' Backyard" as more than 20 billionaires live on the paradise island, it is 60 miles to the east of the capital Nassau just off the larger island of Eleuthera. Miss Bell had previously worked on board the Motor Yacht Sweet Emocean as a crew member until December 2024. Her former colleagues paid tribute in a post shared with a GoFundMe page set up to help "ease the financial burden" faced by the family.
