Either cut out a square to the center of each joist either side of the hole and replace the drywall with a new piece cut to size. then tape and mud the joints.
Also there are metallic screen patches made for small holes that stick to the existing drywall, and can be mudded over to fix the hole.

∙ 10y agoIf it's just a small hole, use mesh tape and mud over it. You may need to sand it 2-3 times. If the hole, or damage is more than slight , i usually cut out the bad part and place an insert of the same thickness drywall in place.
