Resurfaced viral exchange between Sophia Hutchins and Piers Morgan, following her passing at 29 years old
In a heartbreaking turn of events, Sophia Hutchins, a prominent figure in the transgender community and a close associate of Caitlyn Jenner, passed away on July 2, 2025, following a road collision near Malibu, California, the location of Jenner's residence.
Hutchins, who was 29 years old, was driving an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) when she collided with another vehicle. The impact resulted in the ATV plunging down a cliff, and despite the best efforts of emergency responders, Hutchins was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. The other vehicle's passengers escaped unharmed.
Sophia Hutchins and Caitlyn Jenner shared a unique bond, with Hutchins considering Jenner a parental figure and an inspiration for her own transition. Hutchins moved into Jenner's home in 2017 and assumed the role of her manager, a position previously held by Kris Jenner. Despite their close living arrangement and deep connection, Hutchins clarified that their relationship was not romantic. She described it as "parental" and "familial," and she maintained good relationships with Jenner's daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, as well as other family members.
This unfortunate incident occurred during a time when Jenner was responding to a situation involving an AI refusing to misgender her, a controversy linked to a nuclear apocalypse awareness day. Details about the AI's action and the nature of the awareness day are not currently available.
In a separate incident, a US transgender secretary invoked Star Wars to mock Jenner in this context, but the specific reference used remains undisclosed.
The road collision occurred during an interview conducted by Piers Morgan, where Hutchins called out Morgan's personal questions. This interview took place during Jenner's stint on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here in 2020.
As the community mourns the loss of Sophia Hutchins, her legacy as a trailblazer and an advocate for transgender rights continues to inspire many.
