He had been scheduled to attend a Las Vegas financial conference on Sunday, but plans were cancelled following his burn injuries, which were not shared publicly at the time.
Leno, 72, was one of America’s most-watched late night TV hosts, attracting around 4.8 million viewers to his five nights-a-week show.
In 2009, he left the show and was replaced by Conan O’ Brien.
Since leaving “The Tonight Show,” Leno began his own CNBC series called “Jay Leno’s Garage” in 2015 and started hosting the “You Bet Your Life” revival in 2021.
