Mavis Leno, 76, seen visiting husband, Jay Leno, 72, who suffered serious burns to his face

Jay Leno’s wife was seen arriving at a California hospital to visit her husband following an accident which left him with severe burns to his face.  

Mavis Leno, 76, looked somber as she arrived at the Peter Grossman Burn Unit, in West Hills, California. He is said to have suffered third-degree burns and may require skin grafts.

Leno was seen in the hospital parking lot with a friend, and the two of them carted a load of luggage from their car into the hospital.

Her husband confirmed he suffered ‘serious burns’ and was rushed to hospital from a gasoline fire after a car in his luxury LA garage set alight on Saturday. 

The former Tonight Show presenter, 72, was at his Los Angeles mansion when one of the vehicles ‘erupted into flames without warning’ – with sources telling TMZ the left side of his face was burned.

In a statement Leno said: ‘I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet.’
