This answer is part of my answer in another related question. Since it addressed this question too, I put it here, perhaps you find it helpful.
No. There does not exist any confirmed observational evidence for realistic black holes in support of Hawking radiation. A straightforward calculation for the Hawking radiation of static (Schwarzschild) black holes ...

Unless everything we know about general relativity and quantum field theory is wrong, Hawking radiation almost certainly exists.
It is also entirely undetectable. The thermal output of a 3 solar mass black hole by way of Hawking radiation amounts to $\sim 10^{-29}$ W. This, of course, is not only completely undetectable but the corresponding Hawking ...

How do we know Hawking radiation exists?
Quantum Physics (Quantum Field Theory) and General Relativity are considered as the two main theories in physics, which can explain a broad range of phenomena at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles to the large scales of the universe, beyond the ability/validity of classical, nonrelativistic physics. They also ...
