Lexy - who starred in the 2021 series of Australian Love Island - shared snaps of the damage and said: 'Very upsetting.
'Please swipe up if you have any info.'
She added: 'Neighbours saw six teenagers on bikes.'
Just two weeks ago Lexy shared a photo showing her and 29-year-old David beaming as they posed next to a sold sign outside their home.
In May the couple got engaged after New Zealander David got down on one knee during a romantic holiday to Mexico.
He later revealed their big plans for the future, telling Woman's Day: 'I've been ready for my thirties for a couple of years now.
'I've got my chickens, my garden and my mowing equipment. I'm ready for kids and ready for a dog. I'm ready for the rest of life, man!'
Lexi entered the Love Island Australia on day three of the 2021 series and coupled up with Ryan Reid.
But she was dumped after being left single following the final recoupling and dumped from the show.
Ryan, 26, had his head turned by Casa Amor bombshell Tayla Mellington, and Lexy later confessed she was stunned by this.

She told WHO: 'I was very, very shocked because we were very strong.
'And he actually did tell me the day before Casa that he saw me in his life after the show, because that was one of the questions I asked on the compatibility test, which wasn't aired.'

Gregg Wallace sacked as MasterChef presenter, says BBC News
The 60-year-old had stepped away from hosting the BBC cooking competition last year after a number of historical complaints came to light. There have been fresh claims about the TV presenter from 50 more people to the corporation including allegations he groped one MasterChef worker and pulled his trousers down in front of another, BBC News said. A university student has claimed he reached under her skirt and pinched her bottom in a nightclub, and a junior worker alleged he dropped his trousers in front of her while he was not wearing any underwear. Production firm Banijay previously said Wallace is 'committed to fully co-operating' with the external review while his lawyers have previously strongly denied 'he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature', according to BBC News. Some of the more recent claims include a MasterChef worker who said she tried to complain about comments she alleged he made about her body in 2022, and a former policeman who said he tried to raise concerns after he allegedly witnessed Wallace making inappropriate sexual comments at a charity event in 2023. BBC News reported the majority of the 50 people had said he made inappropriate sexual comments, with 11 women accusing him of inappropriate sexual behaviour, such as groping and touching. BBC News also said it has not seen the final Banijay report but it is understood the presenter has been sacked. Earlier on Tuesday, the former greengrocer claimed he had been cleared of the 'most serious and sensational accusations' against him ahead of the report examining his alleged misconduct. In a statement posted on his Instagram account, he said: 'I will not go quietly. I will not be cancelled for convenience. I was tried by media and hung out to dry well before the facts were established. 'The full story of this incredible injustice must be told and it is very much a matter of public interest.' He also said he recognises that some of his humour and language was inappropriate 'at times' and apologised for this. Wallace started out as a greengrocer before he shot to fame fronting BBC shows including Inside The Factory, Supermarket Secrets, as well as MasterChef, Celebrity MasterChef and MasterChef: The Professionals. The most recent series of MasterChef: The Professionals continued to air last year amid allegations against Wallace, but two MasterChef celebrity Christmas specials were pulled from the BBC's schedule in December 2024. At the time, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said she would look to impose new standards in the creative industry amid the allegations. A BBC spokesperson said: 'Banijay UK instructed the law firm Lewis Silkin to run an investigation into allegations against Gregg Wallace. 'We are not going to comment until the investigation is complete and the findings are published.' Banijay UK declined to comment on Wallace's comments.

Julian McMahon's family break silence with heartbreaking words after tragedy
Julian McMahon, who was in Charmed and Nip/Tuck, died aged 56 last week, following a private battle with cancer - and now the father's family have posted online about him Julian McMahon's family have this morning thanked those who have shown their love and support following the star's death. The actor, who was in Home and Away, Charmed and Nip/Tuck, died last week following a private battle with cancer. The 56-year-old star leaves behind wife Kelly Paniagua and daughter Madison McMahon, who he shares with ex-partner Brooke Burns, as well as his siblings, Melinda and Debbie. And today a post has been shared on Julian's Instagram page, thanking the actor's fans for their love in the past few days. The caption read: "Julian loved @vanmorrisonofficial... For all of those who loved Julian, thank you." The poignant post, liked by more than 35,000 people, also featured a black and white photograph of the actor smiling and posing for the camera. Speaking on Friday, Julian's widow Kelly told how he had been fighting cancer. His last public appearance was back in March when he and Nicolas Cage promoted their new psychological thriller The Surfer. It was Julian's final film role filmed and released before the father of one's death. In her statement on Julian's death, his widow Kelly, whom he married in 2014, wrote: "With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer. "Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible." "We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories," Kelly added in her statement obtained by Deadline. Julian died in Clearwater, Florida, and, having lived in the US since the 1990s, had become a citizen of the country. However, he said his soul was always in Australia - where he was born in 1968 - and expressed his joy for "Australianisms". Speaking in an interview in 2021, the former Nip/Tuck actor said: "I feel like I'm Australian on the inside and American on the outside or something. I would never want to leave it behind either. I love Australians, Australianisms, I love my part of being Australian. I love where I grew up and how I grew up and, you know, I wouldn't change it for the world." Julian played Dr Christian Troy in Nip/Tuck between 2003 and 2010, a period spanning 100 episodes across six seasons. The performer was in Charmed for five years, ending in 2005.

'Love Island USA' star Yulissa Escobar reacts to Cierra Ortega's sudden departure
Former 'Love Island USA' contestant Yulissa Escobar is addressing Cierra Ortega's departure from the show, calling for compassion over cyberbullying . In a TikTok video posted July 7, Escobar, 27, drew parallels between her experience and Ortega's abrupt removal from the villa in Episode 30. Both left 'Love Island USA' after posts containing racial slurs resurfaced. A spokesperson for Peacock declined to comment to (Peacock is owned by NBCUniversal, TODAY and NBC News' parent company.) 'I know what she did was wrong but we need to stop fighting hate with hate,' Escobar said in the video. 'The cyberbullying has gone to another level.' Following her removal from the show in June after Episode 2, Escobar issued an apology. In her recent video, the former Islander acknowledged that both she and Ortega made mistakes and didn't minimize the harm caused by their words. 'I'm not justifying what I did, I know what I did and what I said was wrong, and I know what Cierra said was wrong and I know it hurt communities,' she said. Escobar emphasized that while she doesn't condone the language used, the online harassment both women have faced crosses a line. 'When I was in that hotel room in Fiji and I was looking at those messages I was getting, I was honestly scared to come home,' Escobar said. 'I was like, is something going to happen to me? Is someone going to do something to me? Because it was just a lot to take in, and even my family was worried.' Now, she's worried about Ortega facing similar threats. 'Instead of sending such disgusting messages to her and her family ... try to educate us,' Escobar said. 'Her, me, I said something in the past that was wrong, she did too, like try to educate people so we can grow as a community.' Escobar expressed particular concern for Ortega's mental health, noting that she doesn't know if the former Islander is 'OK' and saying she wished she could check on her well-being. 'I'm speaking up for everybody in that island, I'm speaking up for Cierra, not because I don't know what she did was wrong … but I just feel for her mental health and I'm scared, I'm worried for her,' she said. Escobar concluded her video with a message of unity. 'We need to stick together, we can't continue this division we need to unite and teach people. That's how we're going to grow as a community, and we have younger generations that are watching this show and we're not teaching them to be better,' she said. The 'Love Island USA' finale is set to air on July 13, with the recent controversies casting a shadow on the season's conclusion. Ortega has not publicly addressed her departure. Her parents issued a statement posted to her Instagram story, both acknowledging Ortega's actions and asking for an end to 'threats' and 'cruel messages.' 'As Cierra's parents, this has been one of the most painful weeks of our lives,' the post began. 'We're not here to justify or ignore what's surfaced. We understand people are upset, and we know accountability matters. But what's happening online right now has gone far beyond that.' The post said Ortega will 'face this with honesty, growth and grace' when she returns from Fiji, where the show is filmed. 'While she'll always be our little girl, she's also a woman, one who will take responsibility in her own time and her own voice,' the post read.
