Houghton was 65 years old.
"Karen was beautiful inside and out. She was the sweetest, kindest, the most sensitive and vulnerable and so so funny," she continued. "She always felt grateful and thankful for her life and treasured her family and friends and especially her beautiful daughter."

While the television personality had warm memories of her sister, things weren't always sunshine and roses between the two. According to RadarOnline.com, Houghton and Jenner were estranged for some time.
“If you think your sister would call you back, she doesn’t,” Houghton in a 2014 social media post. “And it hurts me. I don’t care how much money you have or who you are, you’re my sister.”
