Doris Roberts, who was best known for playing meddling mother Marie Barone in US sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, has died aged 90.

A family spokeswoman said the actress died in Los Angeles overnight on Sunday in her sleep. She added Roberts had been healthy and active.

The actress won four Emmys for her role in Raymond, which ran from 1996 - 2005.

Her on-screen son Ray Romano paid tribute saying she "had an energy and a spirit that amazed me".

"She never stopped," he told Entertainment Tonight. "Whether working professionally or with her many charities, or just nurturing and mentoring a green young comic trying to make it as an actor, she did everything with such a grand love for life and people and I will miss her dearly."

Spokeswoman Janet Daily confirmed Roberts had died overnight in her sleep. She was told of the death by Roberts' son, Michael Cannata.

Roberts brought her grandsons on stage to accept her Emmy award for outstanding supporting actress in 2005.

Doris Roberts was born on 4 November 1925 in St. Louis, and grew up in New York.

She won five Emmy Awards over the course of her career, four of which were for her work on the television series Everybody Loves Raymond.
