A source tells E! News that Kim Richards was briefly hospitalized last week and has since been released, but did not reveal the reason for the hospital stay.

This comes just after the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmember was arrested for shoplifting when she was caught with $600 worth of merchandise from a Van Nuys, CA Target store. She spent that night in jail and was released on $5,000 bail.

Richards' struggles with substance abuse have been well-documented, including several stints in rehab. Some family members are reportedly concerned that her last rehab stay probably ended too soon.

"There are people in the family who wish she had stayed in rehab longer," said a source. "They weren't happy she chose to leave early."
