Kim isn’t the only Richards daughter who has gained fame. Her sister Kyle Richards was also an actress at a young age, though her star never rose as far as Kim’s. Kyle has joined Kim a number of times on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” But, there’s one more sister: Kathy Hilton. Does that last name sound familiar?
That’s right, Kim and Kyle are Paris Hilton’s aunts. The reality show has struggled due to Kim’s battle with alcoholism, with some even accusing Kyle of being an enabler, a title she has fought against, stating she just wants what’s best for her sister.
