The actress-comedian has revealed that her chicken, named for the woman she often pokes fun at, recently keeled over from a yeast infection, US Weekly reported.

"Kim died of a yeast infection, so we had to get some different ones," Midler, 70, told reporters at the New York Restoration Project Spring Picnic in New York City on Wednesday, People Magazine reported.

Midler told Jimmy Kimmel last year that she named some of her chickens after the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" family.

She also poked fun of Kardashian, 35, by singing some of her more ridiculous tweets.

Midler and Kardashian had a war of words recently when Midler called out Kardashian for posting a nude selfie.

"Kim Kardashian tweeted a nude selfie today," Midler tweeted on March 7. "If Kim wants us to see a part of her we've never seen, she's gonna have to swallow the camera," she said, referring to the fact that Kardashian made a sex tape with her ex, Ray J, in 2003.

"We have the Kardashian sisters, actually, are our chickens," Midler, the Hocus Pocus star said, adding that she can no longer tell them apart.

"Spent yesterday cleaning out the chicken coop," she said in a Tweet. "The hens are Kim, Kourtney and Khloe. And they're exactly like their namesakes!"

Kardashian came out swinging in March, ripping into Midler, Chloe Grace Moretz and Piers Morgan in a rant resembling one her husband, Kanye West, might embark on.

Midler shot back, daring her to put her selfie to good use by donating to a charitable cause called Stages for Success, which Midler started to help upgrade school auditoriums.

Morgan and Moretz had also criticized Kardashian fo the nude photo on Instagram.

No Twitter response from Kardashian this week on the announced death of her namesake.
