The US Sun reported that the LA Sheriff's Department said: "Our search and rescue responded from the station and we were able to find the location using our drones.

"We have a drone program here at the station. So we had a drone go down there and search for the collision and then we sent our search and rescue down to try and rescue the driver of the Polaris."

They added: "Sophia was driving the 2013 Polaris when she collided with the rear bumper of party two, which was also travelling southbound, so she was going faster than the other party.

"The force of the collision caused party one's vehicle, the Polaris, to veer to the right and over the cliff side, travelling 350 feet down to the ravine below. Emergency medical personnel arrived onthe scene and determined that the driver of the Polaris was deceased. Party two and her passenger were not injured in the collision."

They explained that they were currently waiting for "bloodwork" to come through to confirm that no one involved was intoxicated at the time of the crash.

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…"

Sophia was Caitlyn's manager but the pair were also close friends. She had been open about her own transgender journey and after her transition, said: "I truly feel my spirit, my soul, my mind is exactly the same, I am just so much more comfortable physically. Before I transitioned I felt like, 'Yeah, I'm definitely just a girl, but I'm in the wrong body.' And I felt trapped in that body.

"And I needed to have the hormones to change the body, for me, the surgeries to change the body. But for me, that's what I wanted to do, and that's what made me ultimately so at peace."
