After a whole lot of drama this year, Kyle Richards says her sister Kim is now in a better place.

Before the premiere of the sixth season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle chatted with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM radio show and revealed that Kim is making progress. "She's good right now," Kyle said. "She's happy, she's good, she's sober." Kylie added that while Kim will not be a full-time cast member on the show, she will make a number of appearances.

Kim was arrested in April after an alcohol-fueled squabble at a posh hotel in Beverly Hills, at which point she entered rehab for the fourth time.

"It's very difficult," Kyle added. "Like I was just saying with Andy, we'll be OK, and then the show reruns, and we're like, 'Oh my gosh,' and it kind of brings things up again, honestly. It's not just that, but we have a very difficult relationship, and we probably will always be a work in progress, always. Honestly, I don't know if it's ever going to be like, 'Oh my gosh, it's just like when we were little now, woo-hoo! Let's go have ice cream together.' I hope, but it's probably not."
