(KRON) – Longtime late night comedian Jay Leno is in stable condition and receiving treatment after being seriously burned in the Los Angeles garage where he stores his cars.

“I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet,” Leno stated to Variety.

The news was first reported by TMZ.

Leno, who is a car aficionado, was at the garage yesterday when one of the cars caught fire without warning, burning the left side of his face, the digital outlet reported.

The former host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” and current host of “Jay Leno’s Garage,” is at the Grossman Burn Center in West Hills, Calif., according to the report, which states neither his eye nor ear was penetrated by flames.

“Jay wants everyone to know that he is in stable condition and receiving treatment at the Grossman Burn Center for burns that he received to his face and hands from a gasoline accent in his garage over the weekend. He is in good humor and is touched by all the inquiries into his condition and well wish to wants to let everyone know he is doing well and is in ‘the best burn center in the United States.'”
