He said: "Last night my grandmother, Lorraine Warren, quietly and peacefully left us to join her beloved Ed. She was happy and laughing until the very end."
Warren and husband Ed, who passed away in 2006, shot to fame for their world-renowned paranormal investigations which formed the basis to the horror film franchise.
Lorraine born on January 31, 1927, investigated a number of paranormal cases with her husband Ed.
One case which gave them worldwide acclaim was in Amityville, New York that later inspired the 1977 book The Amityville Horror - which was also made into a film.
Warren's son in law Tony Spera said: "She died peacefully in her sleep at home last night.
"The family requests that you respect their privacy at this time. Lorraine touched many lives and was loved by so many. She was a remarkable, loving, compassionate and giving soul."
