'I cannot fathom that somebody would do this to me,' Lyndon told Melbourne media outlets on Monday.
'Everyone has enemies… but I would never imagine having pissed people off enough to have your personal home lit on fire where you and your son's belongings are.
'I guess Victoria Police are probably going to find (the perpetrators), so I'm just going to let them do their job.'
Victorian Police have described the Sandhurst fire as 'suspicious' and have received reports of two individuals fleeing the scene in a dark car, which are being investigated.
A car on fire in a nearby area was also discovered by Victorian Police, with investigators 'working to determine if the fires are linked'.

Lyndon took to Instagram in a now-deleted video discussing the incident, sharing with her 82,000 followers that her CCTV system had been disabled prior to the attack.
'I just don't know where to start – and I live in the biggest Karen estate ever, so this is just gross,'
'I didn't even think you could shut down CCTV so these c**ts are just dogs.
'I am grateful my son and dogs are safe as I can replace our furniture, our belongings, but our family I cannot.
'I've never wanted to hold my baby so tight in all my life – true friends and families' colours are shown in times like this.
'I'm not afraid to cry and show you that I have f****ng emotions because you know what – I worked my a** off to get where I was and even if I've lost everything, you've burnt it down and you've ruined my life.
'I will build my life again, but my son does not deserve this.'
The influencer also posted a photo of the property's damage to her social media on Monday.

Burgertory owner Hash Tayeh steps down as CEO
Fast-food chain boss Hash Tayeh has resigned as CEO of Burgertory, months after police launched an investigation into an alleged bomb threat made to one of his restaurants. In an Instagram post on Wednesday night, Tayeh said the decision to step down as CEO of Burgertory and food and beverage company QSR Collective was not made lightly. 'The reality is, I've been subjected to targeted attacks, politically motivated smears, and ongoing harassment, not because of any wrongdoing, but because I've dared to speak out against injustice,' Tayeh wrote. In April this year, police launched an investigation into an alleged threat by a defence contractor to bomb one of Tayeh's Burgertory outlets. Loading The threat to 'park a couple of b0mb$' outside the hamburger restaurant in Tullamarine was allegedly made on LinkedIn and posted under the profile of army veteran-turned-defence industry expert Guy Langford. In two separate incidents in 2023 and 2024, Tayeh's home and the now-closed Caulfield Burgertory outlet were firebombed. Following the incidents, The Age revealed the alleged arsonist accused of firebombing the Burgertory restaurant told covert police officers the attack was linked to the conflict in the Middle East, contradicting authorities' repeated claims there was no racial, religious or political motive.
