I have a L1a visa, the company fired me, I'm from Venezuela, the company should pay my return expenses, example like family flight tickets and the transport of personal things (furniture beds etc)?
It really depends on the underlying agreement between you and your previous employer. If you are in doubt, you should consult with an employment/labor attorney. Good luck!

They should but they do not have to under US immigration law. They might be obligated under the contract law but we cannot tell you this since we did not see your contract with them.
There would be a requirement to pay your reasonable travel costs if you were in H-1B status. For L-1A status there is no such requirement, unless it was on your labor contract.
The employer is not obligated to pay your reasonable travel expenses under United States immigration law. You may be entitled to travel expenses if you had an employment contract with the company specifying such arrangement.
