Eight other British nationals were injured in the crash, which occurred on Friday near Canaima in the south of the country, it said.
The injured were taken to hospital in Ciudad Bolivar but their lives were not believed to be in danger, the Foreign Office said.
It identified the boy as Thomas Horne and said his parents were also on the plane.
