The key word is "love". The informal nontraditional spelling of the personal pronoun "you," is ya.
My papa bear says it to me all the time. I love the way he says it, and it sinks right into my heart. I know he means it, and he proves it. Actions speak louder than words when it comes to love.
How it is said is nowhere near as important as how it is demonstrated.
People abbreviate everything into oblivion. Even worse, most treat emojis and dumb symbols as if they are an acceptable form of communication. Your boyfriend verbalized an expression of affection and endearment! How many people do you think write DC dying to hear those words in any way they can get them?
He's being warm, cutesy, and informal. If you need him to bring a box of candy, a bouquet of flowers, and slowly say "I love you" formally; it wouldn't mean squat if his heart wasn't in it. It might sound better in some other woman's ears, if you don't like it.
Girlfriend, if you need a translation: He says he loves you!
I hope he means it too! He'll say it in a more serious way when he feels like saying it that way. You're blessed, be thankful!

Thanks for your answers.
Especially Youcannotbeserious.
He is not very good at expressing his feelings so I am taking this as a big step for him.
Trust me, I am enjoying it. I've waited for it.

 I don't think there is a difference, love ya is just a little less informal, more playful. My husband and I say it both ways depending on our moods.

 He probably feels more comfortable saying it that way, in a more light-hearted way, rather than getting all heavy and serious.
Stop over-thinking and enjoy.

 Yes. "I love you" is more serious. "Love ya" is a throw-away thing.
How long have you been together?
Is this the first time it's been said?
What is your relationship like?
