The Kardashian family lost one of its members after Kim passed away recently. Bette Midler announced the tragic death of her chicken, named after the reality TV star, at the New York Restoration Project's Spring Picnic earlier this week.

Midler, who got involved in a Twitter spat with Kim Kardashian a few months ago over the 35-year-old's nude selfie, told reporters at the event that she named her pet chickens after the famous family. She then decided to throw some shade at the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star by sharing the sad news about Kim.

"We have the Kardashian sisters, actually, are our chickens," the 70-year-old actress said. "Kim died of a yeast infection, so we had to get some different ones."

Back in March, Midler called out Kardashian for posting a naked picture of herself. "Kim Kardashian tweeted a nude selfie today," Midler tweeted. "If Kim wants us to see a part of her we've never seen, she's gonna have to swallow the camera."

It didn't take Kardashian too long to find out about the tweet and respond to it. "Hey @BetteMidler I know it's past your bedtime but if you're still up and reading this send nudes #justkidding," she said. "I really didn't want to bring up how you sent me a gift awhile back trying to be a fake friend then come at me #dejavu."
