“Hawking radiation” has never been observed in nature. It is an abstract purely theoretical construct.

Black holes can eject mass/energy/radiation in powerful jets. This is commonly observed in nature, i.e., in quasars and active galactic nuclei. However, this has nothing to do with “Hawking radiation”.
