    Kyle Richards will always be in Kim Richards’ corner.

    The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star spoke to Page Six exclusively at Us Weekly’s Reality Stars of the Year event in Los Angeles on Thursday about how she is supporting her older sister after her relapse .

    “You know, we are a family , [so] when something’s going on with one of us, we all sort of stick together and circle around each other and try to be there and lift each other up,” she said.

    “So that’s what I’ve been trying to do,” Kyle added, noting that she and half-sister Kathy Hilton have led the charge .

    Although Kyle, 55, admitted she would love to deal with it all behind closed doors, she acknowledged that is not a reality for her famous family.

    “Of course, you never want to show the most difficult parts of your life, but I don’t have that luxury,” she explained.

    The Bravolebrity, who won Reality Star of the Year, hinted that “cameras have been rolling” throughout the difficult experience.

    “It’s unfortunate for me, but for the audience, they get to see that,” she said.

    Kim, 60, reportedly fell off the wagon last month following years of sobriety.

    Police were called to a Hilton hotel after the former “RHOBH” star was seen acting “incoherent” and refused to leave the property.

    As a result, she was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold, which is the legal involuntary psychiatric hospitalization of an adult experiencing a mental health crisis, for 72 hours, per TMZ.

    After the episode, Kyle reportedly let Kim move into one of her Los Angeles homes before deciding to take more of a tough-love approach to the situation.

    Kyle reportedly told authorities she did not want Kim in the house, as the former reality star had been cut off from her family in hopes of getting her sober.

    The iconic “Housewife” was later seen visiting an LA courthouse amid reports she officially filed to evict her sister from the property.

    It’s unclear whether Kim is still living in Kyle’s home.

    Shortly after the relapse made news, insiders told People Kim was in “a really bad place.”

    They alleged her “reliance on alcohol has been an ongoing source of conflict” for her and the Hilton-Richards family, particularly Kyle, who is the “worrier” of the group.

    “The family are very private about details, but from the little they’ve said, it’s clear they’ve reached another breaking point with her,” a source told the outlet, emphasizing that “this has happened before.”

    Kim’s relatives were reportedly “bankrolling” the struggling star’s lifestyle and struggled knowing if they were “helping” or “enabling” her.

    “She has the biggest heart,” the insider said of Kyle. “She loves her sister so much, and always will, but she doesn’t know what else to do.”
