That is difficult to fix without getting a new door. How bad is the damage? The door hinge mounts are bolted to the door frame so replacement can be rough without taking the door off. You will need to remove the front fender to remove the door. Once the door is off you may be able to hammer the hinges back into position. It does look like you can get new hinges though. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
