Jenner mentioned “dealing with death … for the last seven weeks” while speaking about Wednesday’s shooting in Minneapolis, Minn.

“It’s so difficult,” the former reality star, 75, said.

“So when this happened, it really hit me hard,” the “I Am Cait” alum explained of the tragedy at Annunciation Church and Catholic School. “Because here I am dealing with my grief.”

Jenner added, “I’ve been dealing with grief, and these people have a long road ahead of them, and they’re going to be dealing with grief.”

The Olympian broke her silence on losing Hutchins last month while telling a Daily Mail paparazzo she did “not want to talk” about it.

The retired athlete did acknowledge, however, that she had been going through a “tough time.”

She has not addressed Hutchins’ passing since.

Her late manager was driving an ATV near Jenner’s Malibu, Calif., home on July 2 when she collided with the bumper of a moving car and fell down a 350-foot ravine.

Hutchins was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency responders.

She and Jenner moving into Jenner’s house two years later.

The duo were “business partners … sharing a life.”

Two years later, she doubled down on there being “no hanky panky” in the relationship.

Jenner reportedly supported Hutchins’ family members after the shocking tragedy by opening her home to them.
