Caitlyn Jenner ‘numb with shock' over death of ‘daughter' in freak accident
Hutchins had regularly referred to Jenner as a parental figure in interviews.
Hutchins, 29, is believed to have collided with a car while riding an all-terrain vehicle on a road close to Jenner's property in Malibu, California, last week, before the ATV plummeted into a ravine.
A source told RadarOnline.com: 'Jenner is numb with shock. She is absolutely devastated and can't believe what's happened. Hutchins was a big part of her life.'
TMZ previously reported that emergency services were called, but Hutchins was pronounced dead at the scene. No one else is believed to have been injured in the accident.
Hutchins took over managing Jenner's career in 2017 following the reality star's divorce from Kris Jenner. She appeared in her reality show I Am Cait, and even lived with the star at her Malibu home.
She explained the career move in an interview with the New York Times in 2019, insisting she just wanted to protect her friend at a vulnerable time in her life.
'I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage,' Hutchins told the publication.
'And I was saying: 'Caitlyn, if I don't step in here and start managing you, you're going to go broke'.'
'Caitlyn is a parent to me. I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship,' she said.
The pair became so close, they were forced to deny speculation they were romantically involved.
Hutchins is believed to have maintained a good relationship with Jenner's ex-wife Kris and daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, while she also appeared in a campaign for SKIMS - the clothing brand run by Jenner's stepdaughter Kim Kardashian.

Justin Baldoni's legal team hit back at 'foot-stomping' Blake Lively
Justin Baldoni's legal team have blasted Blake Lively's "foot-stomping and use of her celebrity status". The former Gossip Girl star is suing her It Ends With Us co-star and director for sexual harassment and retaliation and after she filed a motion requesting her deposition takes place in her own lawyer's office to prevent potential paparazzi attention if she went to Justin's attorney's office, his side have hit back in their response to the request. According to TMZ, Justin and his team argued Blake had provided no evidence to back her point and insisted it couldn't be an issue of cost as the two offices are only around a mile apart. The lawyers also claimed moving the deposition away from their own offices would put them at a disadvantage because they will need to consult with hundreds of pages of notes and may need a separate conference room for private discussions during the meeting. The response ended: "Although Lively's foot-stomping and use of her celebrity status may have enabled her to seize control of the film, which is the crux of this dispute, her counsel's tantrum has no place in this Court. Lively is bound by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure like every litigant..." Blake's request came after a lawyer for Justin - whose counterclaims against Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds for extortion and defamation were dismissed last month - previously said he wanted the deposition to be taken in public for people to see. Attorney Bryan Freedman told People magazine in May: 'Hold the deposition at MSG, sell tickets or stream it, and donate every dollar to organizations helping victims of domestic abuse." Following the court filing, Blake's representatives hit out at the 41-year-old actor's team. They told People magazine: 'Ms. Lively is looking forward to her deposition next week, and it should follow the same rules as every other witness in this case. 'Justin Baldoni's lawyer has tried to make this matter a public spectacle at every turn, even proposing to sell tickets to a televised deposition at Madison Square Garden,. "This is a serious matter of sexual harassment and retaliation and it deserves to be treated as such.' The new filing revealed Blake, 37, asked the judge to block Justin and his team from selecting where the deposition takes place. Her lawyers wrote: "[Baldoni's team have] not denied that their intent is to manufacture a harassing publicity stunt by requiring Ms. Lively to parade through paparazzi, or by inviting unknown attendees to the deposition, including members of the media or social media influencers, or any other number of abusive tactics. 'Since virtually the inception of this litigation, Defendants have used even the prospect of Ms. Lively's deposition to generate press interest. 'The high-profile nature of this litigation, and the nature of Ms. Lively's retaliation claims, demonstrates a substantial risk of the deposition turning into a publicity event and potentially attracting interested individuals who could pose security risks." The Another Simple Favor star's lawyers insisted the filing was a "reasonable request to prevent the risk of annoyance, harassment, and verbal or physical threats," and alleged Justin's team 'appear to seek another public relations moment, or to create conditions for intimidation or harassment.' A trial is set to take place in March 2026.

I've seen the future of tennis. It's Sinner v Alcaraz
Back in 1961, the famous New York Times writer Robert Sheldon saw a warm-up act at Gerde's Folk City in Greenwich Valley, and wrote a review about an unknown singer called – checks notes – 'Bob Dylan'. Citing his 'searing intensity,' and his stunning 'originality and inspiration, all the more noteworthy for his youth,' Sheldon famously observed it 'it matters less where he has been than where he is going, and that would seem to be straight up'. It is often cited as the most prescient reviews of all time, the one that picked early that Dylan would dominate the music scene for a generation. Watching this Wimbledon men's singles final, however, one needed no such prescience, no such expert insight, to offer up the bleeding obvious. Italy's Jannik Sinner and Spain's Carlos Alcaraz – meeting in the final of a major for just the second time, after their epic, record-breaking battle at Roland Garros just last month, and won by Alcaraz – will, individually and often as a duo, dominate tennis majors for years to come. And those who thought we'd never see ever again the likes of the rivalry between the retired Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, let alone the fading Novak Djokovic, must think again. What a match! What an atmosphere! What a sheer, epic contest between two young titans in a suddenly elevated titanic tennis age. So brilliant were they, the fascination was not just who would win, but just how wonderfully their skills countered each other, to make so many points epic contests in themselves. For it was not just the extraordinary array of classic tennis skills they brought to this marvellous green stage. It is the other talents that sheer take the breath away. With both players regularly hitting forehands and blistering backhands of over 160km/h, and serves so fast they could be booked for speeding on open freeways, they both had the punch that would have done Muhammad Ali proud. Could Usain Bolt move as fast around the court as these two with tennis racquet in hand, the way they do? I doubt it. Time and again, Alcaraz unleashed a curious kind of chip shot lob, with backspin and just over Sinner's reach, that Tiger Woods would be proud to call his own. Sinner, particularly, showed a capacity to – from behind the baseline – hit drop shots that landed just over the net, and landed with little more bounce than a dry meat pie on a cafeteria floor. If Alcaraz didn't possess the speed of the aforesaid Bolt, and the escape skills of Harry Houdini, he never would have got close to them, let alone hit many of them back for winners. You get the drift. For every punch, a counter-punch. For every thrust, a parry. For every parry, came something we had rarely seen before. And then there is the different way they interacted with the people that matter to them.
