Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais says it is "tough to watch" Denise Richards go through a divorce from her husband Aaron Phypers.

Beauvais discussed her reaction to the split on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen Thursday.

Fans asked Beauvais if she'd been in touch with Richards, her friend and former Real Housewives co-star, and if she could provide an update on how she was doing.

Richards and Phypers had been married six years when Phypers filed for divorce in July.

"I sent her a text just saying 'I love you and I support you,'" she said. "It's really tough to watch."

Cohen added that he had so much respect for Richards after watching a recent documentary about her ex-husband Charlie Sheen, with whom Richards shares children Sam and Lola. She has since adopted daughter Eloise.

"She's taken the high road in so many ways," Beauvais said.
