Olympic gold medallist and reality TV star Bruce Jenner has been involved a car crash which has left one person dead and seven others injured, US police say.

The star was travelling in one of four vehicles which was caught up in the pile-up in Los Angeles County.

Mr Jenner's publicist, Alan Nierob, said the reality star was unhurt, but offered no further details. The person killed has not yet been identified.

The crash happened shortly after noon local time on Saturday on Malibu's Pacific Coast Highway.

Authorities have discredited media reports of a paparazzi chase at the time of the accident.

Los Angeles County sheriff's Sergeant Philip Brooks said Mr Jenner had been aware photographers were following him, but that he had not been trying to get away from them.

Sergeant Brooks said Mr Jenner had cooperated with investigators and did not appear intoxicated.

He has recently hit the headlines over reports he is currently transitioning to become a woman. The former US track and field athlete won gold in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal.

He went on to star in the reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians with his ex-wife Kris Jenner, stepchildren Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob Kardashian and his children Brandon, Brody, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
