Kim Richards has left the rehab facility which she has been staying at for the last month.

According to TMZ the reality star was reportedly not getting along with staff, including doctors, so packed her bags and left the Malibu center in the middle of the night over the weekend.

The move came as most of the 50-year-old's family was in Europe for Nicky Hilton's wedding.

Done a runner: Kim Richards has reportedly left her Malibu rehab facility over the weekend. The reality star is said to have packed her bags and left in the middle of the night after more than 30 days of treatment

It appeared as though things were going well for the former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star as her ex-husband Monty Brinson, daughter Madelyn and Monty's second ex-wife Terri Lynn Doss visited her over the Fourth of July weekend.

Monty, who is currently battling stage IV cancer, shared a couple of touching Instagram posts from the visit showing his support for his former wife.

He even appeared to hint at Kim making a comeback this month, writing alongside a photo of the former couple kissing: 'All I can say is I'm so proud of Kim and can't wait till the premier of your movie this month and for the world to see how beautiful and great you are doing,'

While it's not clear what movie he was talking about - he has since deleted the snap.

The troubled star originally checked into rehab after her April arrest for public intoxication and battery but left to attend her daughter's wedding in May.

She checked herself back into a different rehab facility when she fell off the wagon at Brooke's nuptials.

According to TMZ she was under the influence of either drugs or alcohol at the event in Mexico, getting angry at her daughter and insulting the groom's family.

Meanwhile, Kim's sister Kyle, along with much of her family, attended the wedding of her niece Nicky to James Rothchild in London on Friday.

Nicky, 31, is the daughter of Kim and Kyle's other sister Kathy Hilton.

Kim is facing two years in jail after being charged with public intoxication, resisting arrest and battery on a police officer stemming from the April 16 late night incident at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Last month it was revealed the former child star was offered a plea deal in the case and must choose between 30 days of community service, or 30 days in a county jail.

She will also be put on three years probation, complete 52 AA classes and must pay the victim restitution.

She also must stay away from the Beverly Hills Hotel where the altercation took place.

Amid reports last month that Kim has been axed from RHOBH after five years, speculation is growing that Bravo producers are trying to woo her sister Kathy to appear as her replacement.

Over the course of her time on the Bravo reality show, Kim's struggle with substance abuse has been discussed frequently.

Increasingly odd behaviour in season five eventually led to a reported estrangement from her younger sister Kyle, 46, who now believes there is no more she can do for her alcoholic older sibling.

Kim - pictured a month before her April arrest - entered rehab briefly but left to attend her daughter Brooke's wedding in Mexico in May. It was there that she fell off the wagon again which led her to check-in to another facility where she has been for over a month
