Ceiling Repair

Hello.
We had a re-occuring leak around our chimney that I think is finally sorted out. Obviously, I didn't want to fix the ceiling until I knew the leak had been fixed. This photo is of my ceiling...it appears that it's a paper covering that's peeled off.
The house is approx. 75 years old, so I'm not sure what this is or how to repair it.
Any idea's would be much appreciated.

It looks like just paint peeling and some of the drywall paper came off. Once your sure no more leak prime with Gardz skim coat affected area with ultra lite joint compound, sand, prime, and paint. Oh and I almost forgot scrap off all the loose paint, and you will probably need to paint the whole ceiling.
