Use the word proof carefully. We've never observed Hawking radiation, we just think it's likely to exist.

The proof is theoretical. It doesn't mean that Hawking radiation must exist, but it means that if the theories that the proofs are based on are sufficiently correct, then Hawking radiation must exist.
