A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department confirms to PEOPLE that law enforcement reported to an incident on Wednesday, Sept. 25, in the Encino area where a source tells PEOPLE Kyle owns a home that Kim had recently been staying in.

The LAPD tells PEOPLE officers responded to "keep the peace" after a female reportedly violated a restraining order. However, after an investigation, they determined there was no order on file and no crime was committed.

"Both parties were informed of eviction process and officers kept the peace," added officials, who could not confirm Kim and Kyle's involvement in the scuffle.

A manager for Kim and Kyle has not responded to requests for comment from PEOPLE.

According to TMZ, earlier this month Kim, 60, was staying in a Hilton hotel until she was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold and taken to a hospital for her "incoherent" behavior. After her release, Kyle, 55, reportedly allowed Kim to stay in her home to help her get back on her feet.

The outlet reports that the family has cut off all contact with Kim in hopes the shut-out will help her get sober again.

Over the years, the reality star has been open about her struggles with alcohol addiction. Her journey with sobriety has long been documented on RHOBH.

In 2010, Kyle famously outed Kim to be an alcoholic in the first season of the longtime Bravo show. A year later, the actress entered rehab and then again in April 2015 following her arrest for public intoxication. She left a Malibu treatment facility for her daughter’s nuptials in May 2015, but checked herself back in two weeks later.

In March 2016, Kim told PEOPLE that she had her "first real drink" when she was 24 years old and her addiction began when she split from her second husband, Gregg Davis in 1991. She recalled drinking a glass of wine at night, which soon escalated into more. “I started noticing I was drinking a lot,” she said at the time. “That’s when my issue started.”

A few months later in December, Kim opened up about feeling gratitude for her sobriety. At the time, she had been five years sober.

“Before I started the show, life was really good and then, you know, things happened and it wasn’t,” she told PEOPLE. “And it wasn’t just my relapse that was hard, but I went through a depression as well after that.”

“I’m just so grateful to be where I am today, and to be this happy and have life this good and have the relationships that I have … I feel so blessed,” she said. “I feel powerful. I feel so grateful. Honestly. Life is so amazing today. I wake up happy. I go to sleep happy.”
