Kyle Richards is sharing a new look at her bond with her late father, Kenneth Richards, in honor of his birthday. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member’s dad passed away in 1998, but Kyle is now giving a look at some of the special moments they shared together.
Kyle took to her Instagram Story on Oct. 9, where she posted four different throwback photos of her dad. In one photo, an adorable toddler Kyle can be seen smiling for the camera as her dad wrapped his arms around her. “Happy birthday to my dad in heaven,” she wrote over the photo.
She then proceeded to post a photo of herself and Kim Richards, and a woman who appears to be their mom — and she tagged their older sister Kathy Hilton (Kathy has a different dad from Kyle and Kim; all three women share a mom Kathleen Richards) — as they hung out with Kenneth in a swimming pool. “Our dad was the best,” she continued.
Kyle noted that he was “so handsome” over a photo of him taken while he was a young man, before posting a photo of her as a young girl, hanging out with Kenneth as he held a birthday cake. “Miss him so much,” she concluded.

This isn’t the first time that Kyle has opened up about her dad on Instagram. She took to Instagram on Father’s Day in 2017, where she reposted the photo of her dad holding the birthday cake. “I was my dad’s sixth child,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “He was already a grandfather when I was born. He was a pro at being a daddy.”

That same day she took to Instagram, where she posted a throwback photo of Kenneth hanging out in front of a car. “My dad, Ken,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “So handsome and smart. Loved to cook and taught us how to. He also loved cars. He was the kind of dad that would ask us what we wanted to do and if we said ‘camping!’ he would say, ‘OK, come on, let’s go.’ No matter what we said, he would drop everything and take us.”

Kyle admitted in 2020 that she also inherited something very special from Kenneth — his gray hair. Kyle took to her Instagram Story at the time, where she posted a video of her dying the roots of her hair.

“Very exciting activity of the day,” she explained in the tutorial. “I am going to color my roots. I have some gray roots. I inherited getting gray hair early; my dad was completely gray by the time he was 40. I started getting gray hairs when I was 25…probably because I worry so much.”
