Caitlyn Jenner's gesture to Sophia Hutchins family after heartbreaking death
Caitlyn Jenner has reportedly been supporting Sophia Hutchins' family after her manager tragically died while on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride near Caitlyn's Malibu mansion.
The LA Sheriff's Department reported earlier this month 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 was said that drones were used to help locate Sophia's body after the ATV collided with another vehicle on the road above.
Almost two weeks after the tragic accident, it has been reported that Caitlyn, 75, has offered Sophie's mum Amy a place to stay as they grieve the late manager's death.
A source recently told TMZ: "Both devastated, Caitlyn and Amy have been leaning on each other for support during this incredibly difficult time."
The Mirror have reached out to Caitlyn's reps for comment.
In previous 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 came as a source close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star 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'."

Missing people plea as Victims Minister says 'it's on all of us' to help
Victims Minister Alex Davies-Jones said everyone has a responsibility to step up and say 'enough is enough' on the issue of missing people - as she commended The Mirror's campaign Everyone has a responsibility to step up and say 'enough is enough' on the issue of missing people, the Victims Minister has said. Alex Davies-Jones said 'it's on all of us' to check in and spot warning signs with our loved ones. She commended The Mirror 's campaign for raising awareness of missing people. And she added: 'We recognise that there's more to do and we will not rest in terms of our action as government in terms of protecting the most vulnerable and doing all we can to support that, and supporting charities like Missing People, because we know how vital it is.' It comes after Gordon Brown blasts the return of 'poverty of 60 years ago' as he makes one big demand. The Mirror earlier this year launched its Missed campaign highlighting the forgotten, unsolved or underreported cases of missing people across the UK. It calls for a new cross-governmental missing children and adults strategy to better link up police, health and social care. Ms Davies-Jones said more needed to be done to ensure agencies across different government departments work together to support individuals at risk of going missing, but also called for action across society to deal with Britain's biggest problems. 'Everyone has to take a responsibility for this,' she said. 'It is on all of us if we're to really make that big cultural change, whether that's on tackling violence against women and girls, on knife crime, on all of these issues, on missing people, then it's on all of us to step up and say enough is enough, and we need to change the course here, and we need to do some things differently.' The Mirror challenged her about a lack of support for people who are found after going missing, with more than half of all missing incidents being a case where the person has already been reported missing at least once in the same year. The Pontypridd MP replied: 'It's awful to hear that that's happening, and that's why we need to build that resilience and that support network around those individuals by better identifying them, better providing support, working with agencies across different departments. 'But also, I think, having a responsibility on all of us to check in on people and making sure that we are being responsible in terms of how we talk to friends and family and spot awareness issues.' Mirror's Missed campaign secures victory The Mirror launched its Missed campaign on Mother's Day to shine a light on the forgotten, unsolved or underreported cases of missing people across the UK. When we launched the campaign, four mums, Julie Davis, Christine Durand, Nerissa Tivy and Sharon Lee, told us their moving stories as they faced another Mother's Day not opening cards or receiving flowers and chocolates from one of their children. They spoke of their constant grief, torment and pain, as well as their hope that their children will one day be found. Our campaign secured a victory after helping to reunite Deante James with his family after he went missing in March. The 17-year-old left the family home in Enfield, north London, after suffering psychosis due to unknowingly smoking a joint laced with Spice. His mum, Vandana Bhogowoth, said she 'couldn't stop crying' when she discovered he had been found - and thanked the Mirror for highlighting their story. Someone is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK, but many people fall through the cracks. A few cases become high-profile, gaining nationwide attention from the media and politicians. But many go unreported, with race, class, gender, sexuality, job choices, and familial ties often contributing. Our campaign is calling for better support for missing people and investment in prevention. Readers can sign our online petition calling for a proper government strategy, led by the Home Office, Education, and Health departments, so that missing people and their loved ones get the help they deserve. Ms Davies-Jones gave the example of a campaign spearheaded by a bereaved mum in her constituency which urges hairdressers to look out for warning signs of suicide. She said her constituent was passionate to start the campaign after her son took his own life and the one thing he would do every week was get a haircut. 'I'm not saying we would have been able to prevent that suicide or prevent anybody going missing, but by just spotting those signs and being confident that you can point them towards support where that's available, I think that's really, really special,' she added. Every year, more than 170,000 people go missing, including nearly 75,000 children. Many are found, but others remain missing, leaving them at serious risk of harm and causing heartbreak for their loved ones. The Mirror's campaign is backed by Missing People, the only UK charity dedicated to supporting missing children and adults, and their loved ones. The Mirror's asks: • Publish a new missing children and adults strategy to ensure police, health and social care play their part • Invest in prevention for those at most risk of going missing • Offer support to every missing child and adult on their return

Daughter killed in head-on ambulance crash remembered by parents as 'caring and confident'
Lauren McFarland was hailed as "beautiful, caring and confident". The parents of a woman who died in a head-on crash with an ambulance as she made her way to work has been hailed by her heartbroken parents amid a probe into her death. Lauren McFarland passed away after losing control of her car while commuting to work, shortly after she had returned from her dream holiday. Her grieving mum and dad described the 30-year-old - who was treated at the scene by the paramedic from the ambulance she crashed into - as "beautiful, caring and confident". She was killed when her red Fiat Punto spun into the path the oncoming emergency vehicle in the Lake District causing her fatal injuries on January 11 last year. The Mirror reports an inquest at Cockermouth Coroner's Court heard she had just returned from her dream holiday to the Himalayas and Everest Base Camp. The hearing heard the travel advisor was travelling east on the A66 near Keswick to her work in Penrith when the collision occurred at around 8.45am. The driver of the ambulance, paramedic Abigail Routledge, and her colleague, suffered minor injuries and immediately rushed to Ms McFarland's aid. The ambulance had no patients on board and the paramedics were returning to base at the end of their shift. They were joined by other medics shortly after, including from an air ambulance, but Ms McFarland's injuries were deemed 'unsurvivable', and she was pronounced dead at the scene. Ms McFarland's family paid tribute in a statement shortly after her death, saying: "Lauren was the beloved daughter of David and Paula and granddaughter of Cynthia, Billy and Helen. "She will be sadly missed by many uncles, aunties, cousins, nieces, friends and colleagues. Lauren touched the hearts of everyone she met with her happy and outgoing personality.

"She was a beautiful, caring and confident person who loved the outdoors and adventure." Ms McFarland was identified by her friend, Freya Graham, who came upon the scene shortly after the incident. A collision investigation report by Cumbria Police found neither driver was intoxicated, and Ms Routledge would have had 'no opportunity' to avoid the collision. Ms McFarland was not using her mobile phone around the time of the incident, and no evidence was found she suffered a medical episode at the wheel. Dashcam footage revealed as Ms McFarland was negotiating a left-hand band, her car was seen positioned towards the centre line of the single carriageway A66. She was seen to make a manoeuvre back to the near side, which caused her car to rotate clockwise, and into the opposite carriageway into the path of the ambulance. A statement submitted to the court by Ms McFarland's father, David McFarland, said she had recently returned from a three-week 'dream trip' to Everest Base Camp. She had accompanied customers from the travel company she worked for, and was looking forward to going again last year. Mr McFarland said his daughter's health and fitness were 'excellent'. He said she regularly ran trail races at a competitive level, having 'excelled' at sports from an early age. She grew up in Bridgefoot, and had attended Cockermouth School, where she 'flourished' and completed A-Levels. She attended London Metropolitan University where she gained a degree in sports therapy, and made 'friends from all around the world'. The court heard Ms McFarland had a 'passion for horses ' from a young age, and competed nationally in equestrian competitions, being mentioned in Horse and Hound magazine. After leaving London, Ms McFarland had lived in Pontefract and Leeds, working for the NHS, before moving back to Cumbria and deciding to pursue a career in the travel industry. Ms McFarland had 12 years of driving experience, having gained her license at age 18. Assistant coroner for Cumbria, Margaret Taylor, said Ms McFarland was 'clearly a very talented young woman'. Ms Taylor said: "She should have had a long life ahead of her with many more adventures. We have heard that there was some evidence of a leak of air from the rear offside tyre of Lauren's Fiat. "What we don't know is whether this contributed to the collision or loss of control. It's possible it may have been lost on collision but it's a possibility that it may have affected her ability to control the car. "It's probable that she died upon impact." Ms Taylor concluded that Ms MacFarland died as a result of multiple traumatic injuries sustained in a road traffic collision

'We feared our parents were dead in Iran prison - the truth left us in tears'
Lindsay and Craig Foreman were detained seven months ago in Iran on espionage charges - and their family has only just received proof of life, and confirmation of their exact whereabouts For seven agonising months, the children of a couple jailed in Iran didn't know if their parents were dead or alive. Lindsay and Craig Foreman, both 52, were arrested while travelling through Iran as part of a motorcycle trip around the world. Anticipating the trip of a lifetime, the adventure was part of a project to explore what makes a good life and community. But on 3 January, they suddenly stopped answering their phones, and never arrived at their hotel. The couple were charged with espionage by Iranian authorities - a claim their family has firmly and repeatedly denied - but for months, their four children heard little about what was going on and had no idea where their parents were or if they were safe. Now, finally their family - made up of Lindsay's sons Joe and Toby and Craig's children Kieran and Chelsea - has been given proof of life and confirmation of their parents' exact location. Even better, Joe has been able to talk to his pyschology coach mum, who is being held at the notorious women's prison Qarchak - a moment he tells The Mirror was 'incredible'. To hear her voice, reassuring and heartbreaking all at the same time," Joe says. "It affected her hearing my voice, she cried, I comforted her, then she talked. I cried, we laughed and we reconnected, she said she had been looking at the moon, I confirmed I had been too, it felt like our souls were intertwined, that the pain of the last seven months vanished for a moment." Joe added, "It's a wave of emotions, I feel relieved to hear their voice, to know they're alive, I feel determined, and it has given me strength. I have cried because whilst they seem to be dealing with it, they shouldn't be having to, and we still do not know how long this will go on. That is tough. We just hope this is the beginning of the end and that they come home soon, safe and well." Their conversation was limited because of concerns about officials listening in, however, Joe was able to get an update on his carpenter and craftsman dad, who is being held in Fashofayeh Prison - sometimes known as Greater Tehran Prison. "I believe they may have been monitored so were maybe limited as to what they could say or wanted to talk about on the call," Joe explains, adding, "but they did say they were transferred by plane a week ago and separated." "Unfortunately, we couldn't get into the nitty gritty of the conditions," Joe says. "They say it is okay, there is access to essentials. But reading reports and accounts of these places, we know just how inhumane it can be. They are no longer together, so they will need to take courage." With no end in sight to their torment, Joe and his siblings are taking comfort in knowing that their parents - who hail from Sussex but now live in Spain - have access to books and company. "She mentioned that she is currently reading children's books, we shared a giggle around that and I said we would try to get her some proper reading books. "They said that they are doing okay, they sounded like they were mentally stable and in reasonable spirits, all things considered. They seem to be holding up and there seems to be others to talk to where they are, which will help, but it will get tougher each day they are apart." He added, "I think what could really help would be knowing there will be regular consular visits, that phone calls will be more frequent, and that whatever can be done to get them home is being done. "They sound okay now, but what they are going through is far from okay," he said. For six months, Lindsay and Craig's family followed the advice they received from the Foreign Office and stayed silent about their parents' ordeal. But a month ago, after receiving little news, they took matters into their own hands and began a public campaign to secure the couple's freedom. Joe explains that it "definitely feels like we are being heard" since, with more than 35,000 people signing a petition so far to pressure the UK government to get the couple home. "Let's not forget that for 6 months we hadn't had any notion of a phone call, there had been nothing," Joe told the Mirror. "We started the campaign to raise awareness, to highlight their situation, which is wholly unjust, and 4 weeks later, we have had a phone call. "We'll never truly know if what we do has an impact, but I do believe this strong support from the public is making a difference, and I will continue to make sure we are doing everything we can to ensure they are returned home as quickly as possible." Joe was able to tell his mum about the huge amount of public support the family's campaign has already received, "I told my mum we are fighting, that we are campaigning for them and their safety and their release, she felt lifted and grateful and thanked everyone for their support. "It gives us some belief, it gives them some strength, to know we are with them and working on getting them home." Determined to bring his parents home and help them stay strong in the meantime, Joe told the Mirror that went the couple is finally released, they have been promised a "big party". "We told them we have them in our hearts, that they are loved, missed, and thought about all the time, to stay strong and keep believing. "That we are looking after everything for them, and not to worry, and focus on keeping themselves right. And that we hope to see them sooner rather than later, and we'll have a big party and celebration when they do get home." The Foreign Office has said about Lindsay and Craig's case, "We are deeply concerned by reports that two British nationals have been charged with espionage in Iran. We continue to raise this case directly with the Iranian authorities. We are providing them with consular assistance and remain in close contact with their family members." The Foreign Office advises against any travel to Iran by British citizens or dual nationals.
