Fireplaces are extremely heavy. Be very careful with it.

Get is sorted as a matter of urgency - at the very least get it completely off the wall onto the floor so it can't hurt anyone.

Yeah doesnt look good - just google fire place repairs you most likely need it done by a professional - there's loads of them

It could be just that the calk/silicon shrank back - is there movement if you push pull it towards/away from the wall?
if its not loose to touch, its ot going anywhere.

Looks like sh1te caulking was used and it's dried out and shrunk. Feel the fire place and see if there is any movement. It should feel rock solid. Any movement need to get it looked at and keep little ones away from it!
