Beverly Hills 90210 star reveals skin graft after horror restaurant burn

Beverly Hills 90210 actress Tori Spelling took a tumble at the restaurant chain Benihana - leaving her so badly burned she needed part of her leg grafted onto her arm

Tori Spelling has bravely shared her traumatic experience of falling onto a hot hibachi grill at Benihana restaurant, which resulted in severe burns and a skin graft from her thigh to her arm. Speaking on their '9021OMG' podcast, she told her former Beverly Hills co-star Jennie Garth, 52: "I did get a radically bad burn falling on a hot hibachi grill at Benihana on Easter in front of my entire family." Tori subsequently filed a lawsuit against the Benihana chain for what her legal documents described as "deep second and third-degree burn injuries requiring hospitalization and surgery" before reaching an out-of-court settlement.
