The Kim Richards sighting comes two months after her sisters Kyle Richards and Kathy Hilton confirmed she has been spending time in Florida.

In addition to Richards, other celebrity guests at the weekend-long “Chiller Theatre” fan fest include “The Exorcist” star Linda Blair, “MASH” legends Loretta Swit and Jamie Farr, and “Cheers” alum John Ratzenberger.

Kim Richards Made a Prior Appearance at the Hollywood Show

Richards has been out of the public eye in recent months. She did not appear at all on the most recent season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” In January, she traveled back to the West Coast for a meet and greet at The Hollywood Show. The fan expo was held January 10 and 11 at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Hotel.

While greeting fans, she spoke to podcast host David Yontef. The “Behind the Velvet Rope” host raved about Richards’ “lovely energy” as she met up with fans.

“Let’s not forget Kim Richards is an actress,” Yontef told his podcast listeners. “She was on ‘Escape from Witch Mountain.’ There are people that are a very huge fans of that show and all the other work that she’s done.”

In September 2024, TMZ reported that Richards had an alleged relapse with alcohol.  But during the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion, her sisters both said she was doing much better now.
