Narrative:

Thunderstorms were building and moving north. Sector 37 handed off aircraft X direct pmd; which on my scope showed the weather would stay to the left of the aircraft. Aircraft X asked for a 10 right vector and I said I could approve 5 right. Aircraft X turned more than 5 right and I told the aircraft to turn back to pmd to avoid restricted area R2515 which was hot. R2515 belonged to isabella and the supervisor was unable to get that airspace for our use with deviations. I made at least four clearances to aircraft X trying to turn the aircraft to the left away from the restricted area. The pilot refused to comply with any of my instructions and ran the boundary between sector 38 and R2515. Sector 18 had two lax departures transition that were given deviations that looked like a 340 heading straight north and toward R2515. As soon as aircraft Y checked on my frequency I advised the aircraft that they could only proceed 7 more miles and then would have to turn to a 070 heading to avoid restricted airspace. I told aircraft Y to turn when they reached J6 and told them I needed a hard turn to miss R2515. Three or four times I turned aircraft Y to a further easterly heading but the aircraft refused to turn. Aircraft Y continued straight into the R2515 complex. Aircraft Z behind aircraft Y checked on my frequency stopped at FL220 with FL230 in the data block also heading toward R2515. I had my d-side call for control. I turned and climbed aircraft Z but the aircraft also refused to turn and entered a portion of R2515. I am not sure if my d-side tried to make point outs to isabella or not. I was too busy with clearance to call isabella myself. I told my supervisor what was happening and received no help. Recommendation; I feel ZLA should be able to take the weather areas when they are needed and not have to wait so long to get them. In hind sight I should have told aircraft X to deviate to the south of the weather. It looked like it was going to be ok direct pmd on my radar. I should have told low altitude to spin the two departures to the left and force them to deviate to the south of the weather as well.
