Jerry Seinfeld has confirmed that his friend and fellow comedian Jay Leno is "fine" after he suffered serious injuries from an explosion in his garage earlier this month.

“They gotta fix it up, but luckily he’s not far from Beverly Hills. I imagine there are people there that can help him with whatever he needs,” the 68-year-old noted about the facial burns the talk show host recently put on display after he was released from the hospital.

"Burn injuries are progressive and dynamic. It's hard to predict what the final outcome will be at this stage in the game," Grossman told reporters on Wednesday, November 16.

The television personality has remained in amazingly "good spirits" throughout multiple surgeries and appears optimistic as he enters the healing phase of the freak incident.
