KEY POINTS

  • Kyle Richards' family was not at home during the weekend
  • Richards said she is allergic to bee stings
  • She thanked the firefighters and the doctors who helped her during her 'panic attack'

For Kyle Richards, it was definitely a memorable and scary weekend.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared on her Instagram story that she was stung by bees multiple times after accidentally running into a hive on her property Saturday.

The 52-year-old celebrity shared security camera footage where she is seen running on her patio and screaming for help. Later, she jumped into the pool to escape the swarm of bees circling her head while her dogs look at her.

“I can laugh at this video now but what you can’t see is that they (bees) were in my hair and were literally chasing me. My family wasn’t home and for whatever reason, the people that work for me couldn’t hear me screaming for help. My landline wouldn’t dial 911 and my epi pen was defective so I couldn’t open,” she captioned the video.

Prior to the video, she shared a photo of herself wearing an oxygen mask while lying on a hospital bed and revealed, “…if you know me at all, you know I am allergic to bees and terrified of them,” she said.

"I share this story with you because I sometimes don't bother to take my epi pen with me. I also don't know why I couldn't get mine to work. It's important to look on youtube and watch the videos of how to use it. There are different types of epi pens and they each work differently. But also always call 911 even if you are able to use your epi pen as they have to use other medications to help breathing etc,” Richards pointed out.

An Epinephrine Autoinjector or an “EpiPen” is a medical device that is used to treat serious allergic reactions caused by food or drugs and insect bites including bee stings. Webmd says an Epinephrine acts quickly to improve breathing, stimulate the heart, raise dropping blood pressure, reverse hives, and reduce swelling of the face, lips, and throat.

Bees sting when they think that their hive is in danger or when they feel threatened.

Richards added in her story that she is planning to have the bees removed from her property as soon as possible. She also thanked the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Encino Hospital Medical Center for helping her to get over her “panic attack and "for repeatedly convincing me there were no more bees in my hair,” she said with a smiley emoji.

Richards also posted a selfie with a group of firefighters who came to check on her a day after the incident. “Still looking like a hot mess with my pool hair and sting marks. #supportyourlocalfiredepartment," she said.
