'In a lot of ways, the show has saved Kim,' Kyle told TMZ Live on Tuesday.
The wife of Mauricio Umansky began by saying that she understands why people would be concerned with the Kim's return to the programme.
She explained: 'You know a lot of people think that being on reality television is not a good thing for my sister Kim but I actually think the opposite and she agrees.'

The brunette beauty even explained that she believes 51-year-old Kim has been able to face her issues head on and get the help she needs through being on the show.
Kyle said: 'It helped her get up every day and be accountable, so in many ways the show was good for my sister Kim but it is still stressful no matter what.'
This comes just weeks after Kyle said that RHOBH will not hid alcohol from the troubled reality star after being in rehab just months ago.

'She has to live in the real world,' Kyle told TMZ. 'She'll be fine. She can handle it.'
Older sister Kim will be returning to the series for season six after making headlines for her erratic behavior, arrests and struggles with addiction in recent months.
Kim did her fourth stint in rehab in April, after she was arrested for public intoxication at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
