I'll leave them alone, I know it's not looking pretty but I'll wait until he starts growing more leaves (might take a while). If it's bottom leaves, then I'll remove.

I agree with plantgeek, looks. Unfortunately it will never heal. But plant will look worse if you remove those leaves and you would cause damage.

There are babies coming out of the side if I cut those off and plante those would it hurt any thing

No providing they are big enough. It won’t hurt the main plant but just make sure they are big enough to be potted.

When my plants got sunburnt I let the leaves stay on and they didn't harm the plant. Now that a year has passed they have slowly fallen off without leaving big gaps. I'd say up to you personally.
