ilan5-ga,
Depends, of course, what you mean by "ethnic" group.
A great place to explore population figures for any city, county or
state in the US is the American FactFinder site of the US Census
Bureau:
http://factfinder.census.gov
Where it says "Get a Fact Sheet for your community" simply enter Los
Angeles County and select California as your state, and you'll
instantly get a host of summary statistics for the county.
By clicking on some of the "show more" links, you'll get further
breakdowns of the population, that eventually lead to the following
stats:
Total population
9,758,886
White
4,968,846
Hispanic or Latino (of any race)
4,613,450
Asian
1,273,995
Black or African American
868,199
Two or more races
256,099
American Indian and Alaska Native
48,544
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander
29,841
Several of the above groups can be further sub-divided, and the major
ethnic groups are:
Mexican
3,571,258
Other Hispanic or Latino
960,215
Chinese
351,148
Filipino
297,345
Korean
203,412
Japanese
122,016
Vietnamese
103,332
Asian Indian
81,148
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander
29,841

ilan5-ga,
Do you have reason to suppose the groups you listed would appear in the Top Ten?
"Ethnicity" is a slippery concept. For instance, "Jewish" is a
religion, while "Russia" is a place, and there are many Russian Jews,
as well as Russian non-Jews. It's hard to know which to call an
"ethnic" group.
If there are particular groups you want more information about,
perhaps it would make sense to post a new question asking for specific
information about those groups.
But as for your current question, if there's more I can for you here,
please let me know what it is you need, and I'll certainly do my best.
If the information provided doesn't meet your needs, let me know that
as well, and please explain how I might better address your question.
Thanks,

ilan5-ga,
I haven't found data for all the groups you mentioned in your
clarification, but perhaps in terms of your original question, I can
perhaps do even better.
The American Fact Finder site has another section that shows Ancestry
data for Los Angeles County, where you'll find more than 25 categories
of ethnic background, in addition to the ones already provided:
ANCESTRY
Total population
9,758,886
American
306,920
Arab
73,395
Czech
19,707
Danish

Dutch
60,360
English
414,975
French (except Basque)
138,097
French Canadian
23,535
German

Hope that does the trick.

It seems very unlikely that Armenians, Persians, or Jews would be
among the Top Ten population subgroups, as your original question
asked for.
I have not found any data on these particular groups, despite putting
in a good deal of looking.
Perhaps if you post this request as a new question at Google Answers,
a researcher will be able to uncover additional data.
Cheers,
paf
