The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards had to go to hospital after walking into a beehive.
The 52-year-old star – who is allergic to the creatures – revealed the scary incident over the weekend as she posted CCTV footage and a photo from her hospital bed.
She wrote: ‘So this happened yesterday. I walked into a hive of bees and was stung multiple times. If you know me at all, you know I am allergic to bees and am terrified of them.’
One of the clips shows Kyle running onto her patio through an open door as she screams for help and pulls a stinger out of her hand.
She then runs around in a circle and jumps into her pool with all her clothes on, as her dogs look on.
She added: ‘I can laugh at this video now but what you can’t see is that they 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 and wouldn’t open.’
She also offered some advice to her followers as she urged them to watch videos on how to use epi pens.
She wrote alongside another photo: ‘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.’

The reality star revealed she was having the bees ‘moved from [her] property ASAP’, and later thanked both the Los Angeles Fire Department and Encino Hospital Medical Center for their help.
She said: ‘Thank you @lafdfirestation83 @encinohospitalmedicalcenter for responding so fast and taking such good care of me. Including helping me through my panic attack. And for repeatedly having to convince me there were no more bees in my hair’.
And the firefighters even came back the following day to see how Kyle was getting on.
She explained: ‘@lafdfirestation83 just came to check on me the day after
‘Still looking ike a hot mess with my pool hair and sting marks #supportyourlocalfiredepartment (sic)’
