Jay Leno is suffering from a third-degree burns after a gasoline fire over the weekend and may need skin grafts, reports NBC News.
The former host of the Tonight Show, 72, received burns on his hands and the left side of his face, a source close to the star told the outlet. He’s now reportedly undergoing hyperbaric oxygen treatment at the Grossman Burn Centre - “something he has to do all the time”, they said.
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment can “accelerate burn wound healing by increasing oxygen supply to injured areas and reducing swelling, which is helpful in maintaining healthy blood flow,” according to the Grossman Burn Centre website.
The comedian spoke out on Monday for the first time since the “serious medical emergency”.
