She was pictured babysitting the children of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West earlier this year.

And despite appearing to be on good terms with the famous couple, Kathy Griffin has jokingly accused her neighbours of 'spying' and being 'obsessed' with her.

The 56-year-old, who once called Kim 'super stupid,' told WSFM's Jonesy & Amanda on Tuesday that Kim's mother Kris Jenner once admitted that the reality star and the rapper keep a close eye on the comedian.

'I think it's been their dream [to live next door], I don't care what they say because apparently they're obsessed with me and spying on me,' she said.

'You know what Kris admitted? She admitted that THEY spy on ME all the time and I said I knew it.

She added: 'My mother came over one day and she's 97 and may have been a little drunk and said "I think that Kim is using your fame and riding on your coattails.'''

Celebrity babysitter: The interview comes after Kathy was pictured babysitting Kim, 36, and 40-year-old Kanye's two children North, four, and 20-month-old Saint back in April

Kathy lives in a $10.5m Bel Air mansion, while Kim and Kanye live in a very lavish $10.7m property next door.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Kim and Kanye for comment.

The interview comes after Kathy was pictured babysitting Kim, 36, and 40-year-old Kanye's two children North, four, and 20-month-old Saint back in April.

Kris Jenner, 61, shared a playful snap to Instagram and captioned: 'When @kathygriffin is babysitting my grandchildren but suddenly realizes she is outnumbered by toddlers and dogs...OMG!!'

Last year, Kathy told People magazine that she enjoyed having the famous pair as neighbours.

'They're actually really dreamy neighbors because the last thing they want is trouble with their neighbors,' she said.

'They're very busy with Taylor Swift and their lip kits and what have you.'

The Emmy award-winner is no stranger to making bold statements and in May was forced to apologise for what critics deemed to be crossing the line.

Kathy was pictured holding a severed head, which bore an uncanny resemblance to US President Donald Trump.

'I sincerely apologise,' she said.

'I've just seen now the reaction of these images. I'm a comic, I crossed the line. I move the line, and then I cross it [but] I went way too far. The image is too disturbing.'
