The child, Zhasmina Leontyeva, was the only survivor of the air tragedy in the far east of Russia with contradictory reports on whether she lost relatives on the flight.
One local report said she was with teacher Olga Laponnikova, and was flying to be with her grandmother.
Others suggested that her relatives had been on the flight.
All the six other passengers and crew on the L-410 twin-engine turboprop plane died when it came down in woodland one mile short of Nelkan airport in Khabarovsk.
Two passengers cheated death by missing the flight at the last minute.

The child was conscious when rescuers plucked her from the crushed fuselage of the Khabarovsk Airlines flight.
Zhasmin was rushed to hospital in severe shock but without life-threatening injuries.
“The girl suffered concussion and a fractured ankle with her condition is described as serious but stable,” reported The Siberian Times.
A doctor told journalists: “At first the child did not speak, did not react to words. After a while, she began to respond.”
The plane, en route from the region’s capital city Khabarovsk, vanished from radar screens at around 1pm local time.
It crashed one mile from the tiny airport in the settlement of Nelkan.
Earlier there were reports of bad weather in the vicinity and this had delayed the takeoff from Khabarovsk city.
The aircraft also aborted a stopover at Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, due to poor weather conditions.
Marina Kravchenko, a spokesman for Khabarovsk airport, said: ‘The pilot flew after a delay due to bad weather at the arrival airport.’
Investigators see three possible causes of the crash – bad weather conditions, technical failure and crew mistake.
The passenger victims were residents of Ayana-May, in Khabarovsk, a vast area of eastern Russia some three times larger than Britain.
At least two other passengers whose names were on the manifest in fact missed the flight, saving their lives, according to local reports.
A criminal case into the crash has been launched.
