We resolve black hole information paradox within semiclassical gravity, in a manner that does not depend on details of unknown quantum gravity. Our crucial insight is that outgoing Hawking particles are physical only at distances much larger than the Schwarzschild radius, so they are created far from the horizon and entangled with degrees of freedom at smaller distances. The later degrees of freedom can be understood as quasi-classical coherent states, implying that Hawking radiation is accompanied by additional radiation similar to classical radiation by which the black hole loses hair during the classical gravitational collapse. The two kinds of radiation are entangled, which resolves black hole information paradox.
