Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage, the lights, the soil, the type of bonsai, or any other information to help me to identify the issue.

Bonsai is, simply, a method of pruning. Problems will need to be addressed according the the genus and species of tree. Typical issues will be over/underwatering, lack of proper light spectrum, too much light, too little humidity, disease, nutrient deficiency, or many other issues. Unfortunately, I do not have enough information to give you any recommendation on what has gone wrong.
