According to the TMZ, Hutchins was pronounced dead on the scene. No one else was injured.
Hutchins, who is also transgender, met Jenner amid her gender transition in 2015, appearing in multiple episodes of her E! reality series I Am Cait as the former Olympian’s manager.

Born April 1, 1996 in Bellevue, Washington, Hutchins graduated from Pepperdine University in 2019 with a degree in economics and finance. She also served as founder and CEO of health technology company LUMASOL.
In 2020, Hutchins shared her favorite life lesson with Medium. “Don’t be afraid of the word no,” she said. “Successful people, entrepreneurs, and women more than anyone else are told no all the time. If we allowed ‘no’ to deter us we wouldn’t be where we are today.
“I’m ready to continue to grow and surround myself with positive uplifting people that believe in me, my ability to execute, and my vision for the future,” added Hutchins.
