I have just done a git status and it's throwing the following error:

fatal: bad object HEAD

I have also tried git fsck which gives the following output:

Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
error: HEAD: invalid sha1 pointer 921078fd0d6521b5f12f1c46dc9865c2856e9dc0
error: refs/heads/master does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/remotes/origin/master does not point to a valid object!
notice: No default references
missing blob 247d4de31a5b4b32c075c3249ae581a735dadc23

Any ideas how this can be easily fixed?

Also I think you should re-fetch from a remote repo, if you have one. If no, then likely you've lost some of your changes. – user3159253 Nov 04 '15 at 09:41
