Jay Leno was seen visiting the hospital where he was treated for third degree burns, on Wednesday as he returned to thank the medical staff for taking care of him.
Leno was seen driving in a blue Tesla before walking back into the Grossman Burn Center where he received medical care after he was scalded when a vintage 1907 steam engine he was working on in his garage suddenly exploded in his face.
Leno spent ten days inside the specialist facility for treatment for third degree burns to his arms and face before being discharged on Monday.
Leno could be seen heading inside carrying a box of cookies from the trendy Los Angeles Milk Bar together with a thank you note. He was then snapped walking out carrying a box with what looked like gifts which he carefully placed in the trunk of his car.
After that, Leno headed to a Chick-fil-A drive-thru to grab some food.

The iconic TV host, 72, had been at his LA mansion earlier this month on November 12 when one of the vehicles 'erupted into flames without warning' - with the star sustaining facial burns and requiring skin-graft surgery.
The star told paparazzi who greeted him as he stopped at a gas station on Tuesday that he was doing 'good' and still has plans to drive the vintage car that burst into flames next week as the car didn't do anything wrong.'
His doctor, Dr. Peter Grossman, has previously warned that the once-popular late-night host may suffer from permanent scarring as a result but said in a statement on Monday he is pleased with his progress after the star spent time in an oxygen chamber. He added that he is 'optimistic' that Leno 'will make a full recovery,' as he continues to receive outpatient care.

'And he's a person who really is looking to move forward, to try to find a way to get past this episode of his life and to get back to what he normally likes to do, which is to be out there and entertain and be with the people. I think at some point soon he'll get there, but I've had to tell him that, for the time being, he needs to sit back and take care of Jay.
Leno said that a fast thinking friend saved his life after a gasoline fire broke out in his luxury LA garage on Saturday as the one time king of late night faces the possibility of needing skin grafts.
In a statement Leno explained: 'I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet.'
He later told TMZ that it was his friend, Dave, who saved his life, by jumping on him and smothering the flames.
The host said that he was repairing a clogged fuel line when he got sprayed on his hands and face with gasoline.
Leno's eyes and ears were not affected by the fire. On Monday, Page Six reported that Leno may need skin grafts as a result of the burns.

'It was a steam car. This steam was made by gas. It got sprayed, as a gas,' Swift, a mechanic who works at the garage, said.
'He called me, and he told me there was a fire and the fire department is coming,' the employee continued.
