According to reports, Tori Spelling was out having dinner in Japanese restaurant Benihana with her husband Dean McDermott and four children.

But the actress was left severely burned when she tripped and fell into a hot grill.

A source told the Daily Mail: "Tori had been laughing and having fun with her family at Easter brunch when she got up to leave and tripped, falling backwards on to a scorching hot grill.

"She shouted out in pain from a large burn on the back of her right arm."

While Tori initially attempted to treat the injuries herself, she reportedly found herself to be in too much pain.

She was apparently then taken to a nearby hospital, where she was allegedly told that her burns were so severe that they would require a skin graft.

The source explained: "Tori's doctor's determined she had a severe burn and suggested they remove the damaged skin and graft skin from another area of the body.

"She questioned if it was absolutely necessary but doctors said she risked severe infection and scarring if she didn't act right away.

"She underwent a skin graft last week and must now spend several days recuperating. Friends are praying for her to make a full recovery."

The True Tori star hinted at her injuries in a recent Instagram post, which saw her post a photograph of herself and her family before the incident.

She captioned it: "Thanks for an amazing day @Scoutmasterson and @TheBillHorn. Perfect #Easter Sunday! Aside from the Benihana Burn!"

Tori Spelling has yet to formally address these reports.
