Jay Leno loves his cars, and he takes excellent care of them. However, yesterday he suffered facial burns when one of his cars caught on fire.
The host told Variety in a statement, “I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet.”
According to TMZ, he was rushed to Grossman Burn Center where he remains for the time being.
News of his medical emergency first broke on People. Leno was supposed to appear at an event in Las Vegas yesterday but cancelled at the last minute. His people told The Financial Brand that he suffered a “very serious medical emergency.” They did not elaborate about what had happened, so everyone was worried about the 72-year-old’s health.
Hopefully, he will recuperate quickly and not be scarred.
