Heavy/Getty Kim Richards is back on Instagram.

Kim Richards is back on social media more than one year after her last post. The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star — who is also making her return to the franchise in season 13 — uploaded two posts on April 10, 2023, promoting her new interview on Entertainment Tonight with her sister Kathy Hilton.

“Hi everyone hope you had a great Easter. Miss you all,” Richards captioned one post, which was a still shot of her and Hilton from their joint interview. “Tonight @kathyhilton & 1 are spilling some sisterly T /Tea. So don’t forget to Tune in tonight @entertainmenttonight as we spill the ET-tea on ET,” she continued, plugging the segment.

In another post that was a similar screenshot from the interview, Richards wrote that she and Hilton are “best friends.”

Hilton also shared a promo for the interview on her Instagram account, encouraging fans to tune in. Hilton, however, is fairly active on social media and usually posts to her Instagram Stories on a daily basis.

Fans Reacted to Kim Richards’ Instagram Return in the Comments Section of Her Post, Many Welcoming Her Back to the Platform

Richards’ last Instagram post was uploaded in February 2022 and was a photo from a family gathering celebrating the engagements of her daughter, Whitney Davis, and her niece, Farrah Aldjufrie (daughter of Kyle Richards).

Richards has been radio silent on social media since then, not posting anything on Instagram or Twitter until now. For the most part, fans were really excited to see Richards back on social and they let her know it in the comments section of her post.

“Omg, hi Kim! Hope you had an amazing Easter! We all love & miss you so much & are so excited to see you on our screens again!! Sending you SO much love,” one person wrote.

“I’m so happy to see you back!!” someone else added.

“Welcome back, we love you. Please continue to film for RHOBH,” a third comment read.

“Always rooting for you Queen! Love this,” a fourth Instagram user said.


Kim Richards & Kathy Hilton Displayed Their Bond During the Entertainment Tonight Interview

In addition to the comments welcoming Richards back to Instagram, many fans were excited to see Richards and Hilton’s Entertainment Tonight segment. Seeing the sisters on camera together, especially in this sort of Q&A setting, isn’t all that common.

During the interview, Hilton asked Richards what the “best part” of having her as a sister was and Richards didn’t hesitate to respond.

“I love that we laugh together. I love when we have fun together. And I love our relationship. I’m super grateful,” Richards said.

“We do have fun together. We really do. And I think also the other thing is you’re very patient with me and that’s huge because sometimes I need that. You know I don’t have a husband, I don’t have Mom, I don’t have my kids. And of course, I don’t want to let them in on everything. So when I tell you something, you’re patient and you guide me and tell me what you would do and I have to say most of the time I listened to you,” she added.
