The blaze left the star with at least deep second-degree – and possibly third-degree – burns that required one surgery already, Dr. Peter Grossman said at a press conference Wednesday, according to CBS Los Angeles.

Another operation is expected to happen this week.

Leno on Wednesday gave cookies to children who are also being treated at the West Hills Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles, his doctor said.

"I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire," Leno said in a statement afterward. "I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet."
