Kyle Richards says she saw her stolen ring from 2017 home heist on Diane Keaton’s Insta

Kyle Richards has launched a desperate hunt for a stolen family heirloom after she spotted the ring being worn by a psychic in a photo that was posted on Instagram by actress Diane Keaton. 

The 51-year-old reality star unraveled the complicated tale in a new episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, recalling her shock at seeing the beloved ring, which had belonged to her late mother, on a psychic’s finger, three years after it was taken from her Encino home as part of a $1 million heist.   

At the time, Richards revealed that she had lost dozens of sentimental family pieces in the robbery, and while police were investigating the crime, she had not yet found any of the stolen items – until July 2019 when she saw the ring in an image shared by Oscar-winner Keaton, who happened to snap a photo of a psychic she saw in Santa Monica because she liked her nails.

‘I was looking on Instagram and I saw Diane Keaton – she posted a picture of a psychic’s hands on the Third Street Promenade and they had my ring on her hand,’ Richards explained on a new Real Housewives Secrets Revealed special, according to TooFab

The image in question was posted to Keaton’s Instagram account on July 13 last year and shows the unnamed woman’s hands which are covered in different gold rings; she is also seen wearing a number of gold and silver bracelets while modeling very long rounded black nails. 

Richards has not yet confirmed which of the seven rings in the image belonged to her mother.  

Desperate to try and find the psychic in question, the Bravo-lebrity reached out to Keaton through her husband, Mauricio Umansky’s real estate company, The Agency.  

‘We reached out to one of our agents at The Agency who happens to represent Diane Keaton, and I said, “You need to find out what the situation is.”‘ 

The agent in question spoke to Keaton, who explained that she didn’t have any particular details about the psychic – revealing that she had only chosen to take the picture of her hands because she thought the woman’s long black nails were ‘so interesting’. 

But while Keaton was unable to offer any specific information about the psychic – other than her location – Richards was determined not to let the lead go to waste, and she quickly enlisted a private investigator to try and track down the fortune teller. 

When the private investigator failed to find the woman, Richards took matters into her own hands and teamed up with her RHOBH co-star and close friend Teddi Mellencamp to try and locate her.

Their efforts proved fruitless however, with Mellencamp explaining in the RHOBH special: ‘We thought we were hot on the trail but then we realized we were just being sent in circles.’ 

At that point, Richards had to give up the search in order to focus on filming for the latest season of the hit Bravo show, however she explained in the new episode that she is determined to resume the hunt and track down her stolen heirloom. 

‘I want to know if she bought that from someone at a pawn shop, even if I have to buy it back from her, I’m happy to do that,’ she said.  

Richards’ reignited search for her mother’s stolen ring comes three years after the bauble was first stolen from the reality star’s home along with dozens of other valuables and sentimental items worth a staggering $1 million. 

The mother-of-four and her realtor husband were holidaying in Aspen when thieves broke into her Encino home, which the couple had purchased for $8.2 million just a few months prior.

Speaking about the devastating robbery in January 2018, Richards revealed that many of the items stolen during the heist were priceless family heirlooms that she had hoped to one day bequeath to her daughters, Farrah, Portia, Alexia, and Sophia, who were in Aspen with their parents when their home was burglarized.

The home robbery was so traumatic Richards actually considered moving out of the Encino property, she confessed to Bravo in 2018.

‘There was one point after our house was burglarized that I thought, you know, I might have to sell my house – but then I look at my dogs and see how much they love this house and I think, “I could never leave,”‘ she explained.

In her first interview after the robbery, Richards told People that ‘everything my mother, who passed away, had ever collected and saved to give to me – that I had always envisioned of passing on to my four daughters – was gone’. 

She added: ‘Even my children’s baby bracelets. Obviously, those are the things that hurt the most, things that I can’t replace. They’re completely invaluable.’

In a different People interview she shared that despite being one of three sisters she inherited ‘the majority’ of her mother’s keepsakes.

As a result, when these valuables were stolen ‘there was guilt attached to it. They got taken from me, from my house, on my watch’.
