So, how are Kyle Richards and Kathy Hilton related? We explored their family links to find out all about their sisterly bond.

Who is Kathy Hilton?

Kathy has recently joined RHOBH, after being introduced by Kyle Richards.

The 62-year-old is an American actress, socialite, fashion designer, and philanthropist, who retired from acting in 1979.

She is the mother of socialite Paris Hilton and fashion designer Nicky Hilton, and hosted the reality show I Want To Be a Hilton on NBC in 2005.

The RHOBH star is married to real estate salesman Richard Hilton, who she met at the age of 15 while attending a private high school.

Kathy’s mother Kathleen Mary and father Larry Avanzino got divorced, before she later married Kenneth E. Richards.

Kenneth already had three grown children from a previous marriage.

Both him and Kathy then gave birth to two girls, who are Kathy’s two maternal half-sisters: actresses Kim and Kyle Richards.

In June 2012, Hilton reportedly said that she refuses to watch her half-sisters Kim and Kyle Richards on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

She said that they caused her to “break down in tears” over watching their lives “fall apart”, as reported by Daily Dish.

The sisters previously fell out and weren’t on speaking terms, but have since patched things up. They now seem to be closer than ever.
