You are talking about Hawking radiation, which makes black holes evaporate. While General Relativity explains how BHs form through gravitational collapse, it's quantum mechanics that explains their demise. Vacuum fluctuations cause the creation of particle-antiparticle pairs near the horizon. Normally these would recombine almost instantaneously, but in this case, it is possible that one of the pair crosses the horizon. In that case the other can escape, and it has the effect that the BH has lost some mass.
For stellar-mass or larger BHs, this happens extremely slowly. For a solar-mass black hole, it takes about $10^{67}$ years. For comparison, the universe is only about $10^{10}$ years old. However, as the BH loses mass, the process goes faster and faster, and the final stages happen explosively.
Note that this process cannot actually happen at present, as the temperature of a stellar BH (about $60 nK$) is far below the CMB temperature of $2.7K$. It will only start when the universe has expanded far enough and its temperature has dropped below that of the BH. It does occur at present for BHs with a mass of less than about 1% of the earth. BHs like that may exist as remnants from the Big Bang. These have been proposed as a possible candidate for Dark Matter. However, if they exist, we should be able to see the explosions as some of them go through final evaporations. No such explosions have been observed.
